Latest sign of growing trouble on horizon in San Joaquin watershed: SJ River near Vernalis is now expected to exceed "Danger Stage" on Sunday and stay there indefinitely. This is a more significant development than just exceeding flood stage due to risk to levees. #CAwater (1/3)

Our latest offering with @egies and @gefogg @NASAJPL 's Felix Landerer is a REALLY important one. Damming rivers and storing water above ground is fraught with problems. There is a better way... mynspr.org/show/blue-dot/…

Here's a great listen on #groundwater in #California and its role in preventing floods and storing water for drought. Also #paleovalleys! Featuring me & one of Water Always Wins' water detectives, hydrogeologist @gefogg. On Blue Dot with @DaveSchlom: npr.org/podcasts/50317…

Congratulations Sam Sandoval!!

California Water Watch cww.water.ca.gov Water conditions are only vaguely apparent to most locals, so this new site on the state of regional and local CA water resources is an important step. #hydrogeology #cawater @CA_DWR @WaterWired

Putting solar on roofs, parking lots, canals, other disturbed land provides multiple benefits. Think natural lands (biodiversity), productive farmland (food). Rooftop solar important for distributed electricity production & resilience, much more. nytimes.com/2022/01/24/bus…

Thanks, @RadioBWatt! Paleo valleys are special underground features through which water wants to travel. Hydrogeologist @gefogg says they can help California deal with drought and floods.

The paleo valleys from the most recent glacial episode are actually bigger than this, but it’s a great illustration. @WaterWired @ucwater @ucanrwater

KCRA 3 Special Report: The Floods of ‘97 kcra.com/article/kcra-3… A great hydrologic remembrance of the massive rain-on-snow flood event of 25 years ago in CA’s Central Valley… a reflection on humility, awe and hope… Happy New Year! @kcraFinan

@WaterWired @Bakersfieldcali @LISABEUTLER @JayLund113 @CA_DWR @GroundwaterAct @GRAofCalifornia @agleader Yup, recharge efforts are definitely needed, but unpopular pumping cuts are also necessary. Such dilemmas won’t be solved until pumpers pay according to amounts pumped, and rechargers get paid according to how much they recharge — groundwater economy 2.0.

In @Bakersfieldcali: Critics say valley groundwater managers relying too much on recharge, not enough on pumping cuts. bit.ly/32vhb6M #cawater cc: @LISABEUTLER @JayLund113 @CA_DWR @GroundwaterAct @gefogg @GRAofCalifornia @agleader

Thought-provoking work suggesting forests depend more on groundwater than typically assumed. Fits with hypothesis that forest desiccation and fires are being forced both by surface and groundwater phenomena. nature.com/articles/s4158… @reedh2o @AjamiHoori @LCofthesesert @WaterWired

Excited to share our new paper on the future of global groundwater modeling! This was a great collaborative effort @waterBier @gefogg @annevanloon @reedh2o @stkollet @mauro_sulis @cabesser_BGS agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

@JayLund113 Yep - when the data can tell the story, let it. Sometimes that’s enough, but don’t forget to use that data to make the models better for those times when data are not enough. #ucwater #ccwas

People like to talk about climate change, but what are some reasoned, easy-ish approaches to actually including it in real water system evaluations. A tough and growing problem. californiawaterblog.com/2021/11/21/adj…
