The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District, in collaboration with California State University, Sacramento, was awarded a $826,742 Project Grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to enhance the existing Integrated Santa Ana River Model. The project will extend the model's calibration period, incorporate updated recharge facility designs, and evaluate climate change scenarios to quantify groundwater recharge trends, improve forecasting capabilities, and optimize facility operations. This supports the program's objectives to improve access to hydrologic data, develop advanced water management tools, and enhance modeling and forecasting capabilities for water resource management in western U.S. regions. The project is supported by the San Bernardino Valley Conservation Trust, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department.
