This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $1.6 million supports research at the University of California, Davis under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from October 2022 through March 2027. The award will fund research to advance understanding of feedbacks governing decentralized water resource systems in California's Central Valley through data-driven approaches.

Specifically, the University of California, Davis will characterize decision-making relationships and quantify the drivers and consequences of dynamic water management decisions in the multi-scale system. The university will also attribute uncertainty in simulated outcomes to factors such as hydroclimate, social dynamics, and their interactions. $160,000 of the award will fund work with a research associate at Cornell University to generate stochastic traces of future weather for California's water system and develop stochastic watershed models. Findings from this research aim to support coordinated sustainability in water-scarce regions with decentralized management structures.
