When most people hear the word ‘groundwater’ they think about lakes deep underground, or streams flowing in channels like caves. But in reality, groundwater refers to all of the water reserves that lie in the pore space between rocks, sands, silts, and clays. All of the technicalities aside, the most important thing to know about groundwater is that it provides us with the majority of the water we use for agricultural, domestic, municipal, and industrial uses.

As such, it is extremely important to characterize and understand the groundwater resources that we have available to us in California. With the recent passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014 by the Department of Water Resources (DWR), groundwater regulations must be in place for over one hundred groundwater basins in California by 2020 or 2022, depending on the prioritization given by the DWR. As a part of the SGMA regulations, groundwater conceptual models, aquifer budgets, and groundwater and surface water flow models (sometimes coupled) must be developed to develop groundwater sustainability plans and develop sustainability criteria. High priority basins, with undesirable results like subsidence, depletion of groundwater storage, chronic decreases in groundwater levels, saltwater intrusion, and depletion of surface water resources due to groundwater extraction, require detailed hydrogeologic assessment, characterization, and evaluation over time.
