Notwithstanding the new legislation, water supply conditions were not severe enough to trigger the need for water transfers until 1991, the fourth year of a prolonged drought. This paper provides a background on water inCalifornia, and a summary of the practice of market-based water transfers in...
She also cited recent years in which runoff has dropped off dramatically and storm conditions have shut down and been followed by excessive dry periods. “I don’t want to be the downer here,” Nemeth said. “But I do want to make sure that everyone understands that we nee...
Adapting California's water system to warm vs. dry climates Least-cost water supply system adaptation is explored for two climate scenarios: 1) warmer-drier conditions, and 2) warmer conditions without change in ... CR Connell-Buck,J Medellín-Azuara,JR Lund,... - 《Climatic Change》 被引...
dry conditions in the summer and October left soils parched. When soils are too dry, runoff from the mountain snowpack typically will be soaked up by the ground, reducing the amount of water flowing in streams and rivers to reservoirs. ...

While snowpack measured on April 1 in the Sierra-Cascades (an indicator of expected water supply for the year) was 60% of average, streamflow in major watersheds was on par with 2014, when snowpack had been 25% of average. Explains the report: “Prolonged warm and dry conditions create a...
But recorddry conditionshave strained the system, lowering reservoir levels, and the State Water Project — which gets its water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta — has estimated it will be capable of delivering only about 5% of its usual allocation, for the second consecutive year. ...

(major water supply season April–July) runoff, and annual runoff during two future periods, mid-century and late-century, relative to a historical baseline period are examined. Trends in seasonal and annual runoff projections are also investigated. The results indicate that watershed characteristics ...
