State Water Board advances watershed supply-and-demand models for 18 basins
Summary
The State Water Resources Control Board presented progress on a multi‑watershed supply-and-demand modeling program intended to provide monthly water-supply forecasts, public dashboards and tools to support local planning, drought response and project evaluation.
The State Water Resources Control Board on Sept. 3 updated the board on a multi‑watershed water supply and demand assessment program designed to produce hydrologic models, monthly supply estimates and public visualization tools for 18 watersheds across California. Philip Dutton, program manager in the Division of Water Rights, said the program grew from lessons learned during the 2021–22 Russian River drought and a $15 million contract with Paradigm Environmental to develop watershed models.
The models use the Loading Simulation Program in C++ (LSPC) framework, meteorological inputs, stream gauge records and a cleaned set of…
