The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) received a $726,748 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to update their groundwater flow model. The purpose of the project is to better describe the recharge and storage paths in key aquifers in the Upper Santa Clara River Valley Groundwater Basin to determine the future reliability of its aquifers and recharging needs. The updated model will be used to conduct sensitivity testing of potential operational alternatives for groundwater pumping and assess the performance of the system due to climate change impacts. This improved understanding of the groundwater basin is expected to allow water managers to identify strategies to offset expected future declines in available groundwater supplies within the basin. The grant has an award date of July 25, 2024 and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2026.
