This $301,256 Project Grant award from the Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will enable the Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) to improve its water supply operations and forecasting capabilities. The project will incorporate software technology upgrades and algorithm-based strategies to influence near-term operational decisions for water managers at MMWD. The goal is to reduce drought risk and maintain environmental releases, benefiting not only MMWD's 200,000 customers but also other regional water users. Key activities include stochastic modeling to evaluate operational strategies under various hydrologic conditions, technology software upgrades, and collaboration with partners on water availability. Upon completion by September 2026, the district and its partners will have a suite of forecasting tools to increase water supply resiliency and avoid potential loss of supply.
