California’s Delta-Groundwater Nexus: Economic and Water Supply Effects of Ending Groundwater Overdraft in California’s Central Valley

Several researches from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis have recently published an article on the nexus between California’s Delta and groundwater.

The paper examines the economic and water management effects of ending long-term overdraft in California’s Central Valley, the state’s largest aquifer system. These effects include changes in regional and statewide surface water diversions, groundwater pumping, groundwater recharge, water scarcity, and resulting operating and water scarcity costs.
