3 Water Budget Handbook Overview: Presentation Outline
Purpose and need. Contents (Sections 1 - 9). Section 1: Innovations, Total Water Budget, Common Vocabulary, and Water Budget Accounting Template. Section 2: Water Budget Development Process. Sections 3-9 summary contents. Follow up presentations. Next steps.

4 Water Budget Handbook: Purpose and Need
Provide the California water resources community with a resource to develop water budgets for any geographic area and time period, using modeling and non-modeling approaches. Need: A water budget is a critical element of water management planning. Water budget development is mandated by recent legislation in California. No single practical reference guide available for developing water budgets. Assembly Bill 1668 (2018): AWMP to include “an annual water budget based on the quantification of all inflow and outflow components for the service area of the agricultural water supplier.” SGMA, GSP: “…shall include a water budget for the basin that provides an accounting and assessment of the total annual volume of groundwater and surface water entering and leaving the basin, including historical, current and projected water budget conditions, and the change in the volume of water stored.”

5 The Solution – The Water Budget Handbook
Systematically presents the existing, but unorganized, information on various methods and data sources for developing estimates of water budget components. Articulates a systematic process of identifying, classifying summarizing, and communicating water budget information Provides a catalog of methods that an agency may consider based on its needs, data and tool availability, and expertise. Is not prescriptive in what methods a water agency should apply to develop water budgets.

6 Water Budget Handbook: Contents
Section 1. Introduction Section 2. Water Budget Development Process Section 3. Land System Section 4. Surface Water System Section 5. Groundwater System Section 6. Case Study: Non-Modeling Approach Section 7. Case Study: Integrated Water Flow Model (IWFM) Section 8. Case Study: MODFLOW-OWHM Section 9. Data Resources Directory

7 Section 1. Introduction Section Highlights Innovations
Total water budget Total water budget schematic Common vocabulary Water Budget Accounting Template

8 Water Budget Handbook: Innovations
First-ever total water budget with 3-dimensional representation of water budget components and common vocabulary. Decision tree to streamline selection of a modeling or a non-modeling approach for water budget development. Water Budget Accounting Template to organize and present inflows and outflows for land, surface water, and groundwater systems. Case studies demonstrating development of water budgets with modeling and non-modeling approaches. First-ever compilation of relevant key data sources with tips and practical advice on how to use the sources to develop water budget estimates.

9 Total Water Budget The total water budget is a comprehensive accounting of all inflows to and outflows from the three interrelated and interacting systems in a water budget zone: A water budget zone represents any user-defined water management area, such as a watershed, groundwater basin, water district, groundwater sustainability agency (GSA), or other geographical area.
