Glenn County was awarded a grant in 2016 in the amount of nearly $250,000 to complete a project supporting Sustainable Groundwater Management Activities. The Project is funded by the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014, (Sustainable Groundwater Planning Grant Program), administered by State of California, Department of Water Resources. The County hired Davids Engineering, Inc. and West Yost Associates to assist in the completion of this project.
Project Title:
Data Management and Hydrogeologic Conceptual Modeling to Support a Groundwater Model in Support of Sustainable Groundwater Management Activities
Project Description:
This Project includes the compilation of groundwater data, development of a groundwater data management system (DMS), creation of a water budget and hydrogeologic conceptual model (HCM), and ranking and scoring of groundwater-surface water modeling platforms. The data and models produced from this Project will be incorporated into one or more Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) compliant Groundwater Sustainability Plans.
Project Tasks:
- Grant Administration
- Data Collection and Analysis
- Data Integration into Project Management System
- Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model
- Groundwater Model Assessment and Software Recommendation
Presentations:
