The California Water Data Consortium was awarded a $509,551 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to enhance an open-source water accounting platform. The platform will serve as a baseline groundwater accounting and tracking tool for Groundwater Sustainability Agencies across California to improve access to water elevation and extraction data, water accounting systems, and scenario planning and visualization tools critical for effective groundwater management. Specifically, the Consortium will partner with state agencies and local water authorities to integrate two established open-source software tools to expand the platform's functionality. Under the award, the Environmental Defense Fund, Inc. will receive funding as a sub-awardee to facilitate an iterative development process for the water accounting and scenario planning platform through forums and working groups involving Groundwater Sustainability Agencies and state agency stakeholders. The project is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2024.
