1 Drought contingency planning: USGS perspectives
Urban Water Institute Annual Conference, San Diego, August 22, 2018 Eric Reichard, Director, USGS California Water Science Center

2 USGS Water Science Centers
28 Centers nationwide Provide foundational data and scientific analyses to address the water issues facing the state(s) and nation. Partner with state, regional, local, tribal, and federal entities.

3 Responding to drought requires monitoring to characterize hydrologic trends and variability

4 Groundwater Monitoring Surface Water Monitoring
~3000 discrete stations ~230 continuous stations Surface Water Monitoring ~500 USGS gaging stations ~550 furnished records (FERC) 24 gages in San Diego County USGS BORREGO PALM C NR BORREGO SPRINGS CA USGS CAMPO C NR CAMPO CA USGS JAMUL C NR JAMUL CA USGS SWEETWATER R NR DESCANSO CA USGS SWEETWATER R A DEHESA CA USGS LOS COCHES C NR LAKESIDE CA USGS SAN DIEGO R A MAST RD NR SANTEE CA USGS SAN DIEGO R A FASHION VALLEY AT SAN DIEGO CA USGS LOS PENASQUITOS C NR POWAY CA USGS SANTA YSABEL C NR RAMONA CA USGS GUEJITO C NR SAN PASQUAL CA USGS SANTA MARIA C NR RAMONA CA USGS SAN LUIS REY R A OCEANSIDE CA USGS RAINBOW C NR FALLBROOK CA USGS SANTA MARGARITA R A FPUD SUMP NR FALLBROOK CA USGS SANDIA C NR FALLBROOK CA USGS DE LUZ C NR DE LUZ CA USGS FALLBROOK C NR FALLBROOK CA USGS ONEILL LAKE OUTLET CH NR FALLBROOK CA USGS ONEILL LK SPILL CH NR FALLBROOK CA USGS SANTA MARGARITA R A YSIDORA CA USGS LAS FLORES C NR OCEANSIDE CA USGS SAN MATEO C NR SAN CLEMENTE CA USGS CRISTIANITOS C AB SAN MATEO C NR SAN CLEMENTE CA

5 Streamflow variability
Through Aug 19, 2018 Stations with >= 30 years record

6 Responding to drought requires conjunctive surface water-groundwater management
Groundwater pumpage effects on surface water resources Surface water availability effects on groundwater demand Opportunities for managed aquifer recharge Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)

7

8 USGS national drought priorities
Evaluate the complex interactions that determine drought and drought effects; Understand how drought affects fish and wildlife species; Advance efforts in coordinate drought monitoring systems; and deliver decision-support science to help Federal, regional, State, Tribal, and local stakeholders. Develop an integrated drought modeling and prediction capability to predict drought risk and vulnerability for planning and mitigation.
