Summary: Spatial analysis of irrigation efficiencies is critical to implementing water conservation strategies as climate changes over time.

Summary: Improving aquifer storage recovery operations can help to reduce nutrient loads and increase water supplies. This analysis of managed aquifer recharge in central coastal California quantified variability in infiltration, recharge, groundwater movement, and water quality.

Summary: Monitoring hydroclimate extremes helps decision-makers reduce famine in developing countries.

Summary: Water provision is an important ecosystem service, particularly in forest ecosystems like those of California's Sierra Nevada mountains. As the climate changes, the way water moves through forests is also changing, which impacts downstream users.

Tools and Resources CIWR works with collaborators and water agencies to develop resources that support improved water management practices in California.

ENVIRO-GRO ENVIRO-GRO was developed to provide simulations of the growth of agricultural crops. The program simulates subsurface variably-saturated water flow, solute transport, root water uptake, nitrogen uptake, and relative yield for agricultural applications.

History of the UC Water Resources Center The original UC Water Resources Center was funded by the California State Legislature in 1957 for the purpose of providing training and research to complement the State Water Project.
