Proud to see Claire Kouba with @UCDavisHydro present our new framework for assessing stream depletion from groundwater pumping at @GRAofCalifornia's GW Conference, a key piece of the Scott Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan https://t.co/bBKUB9QGNv
Lots of @UCDavisHydro students speaking at @GRAofCalifornia 4th Western Groundwater Congress - for all of us the first in-person con in some time, feeling very safe, and great to BE with our groundwater community again.
Median #groundwater level in the San Joaquin Valley, CA declined ~75 ft over the past 30 yrs (> 2 ft/yr spatial mean). Regional levels have not recovered from the 2012-2016 #drought, placing shallow wells at risk as we enter perhaps yet another dry year. #cawater#rstats#dataviz
Major 🙏 to @BradSmi & @Microsoft for committing to carbon neutrality, acknowledging 🌎's dependence on non-renewable groundwater + committing to water replenishment, and for funding my work with @LCJandA (link below)!

The purpose of graduate school is to become the kind of professional you want go become. Everyone is different. Explore and choose carefully, while you are learning who you want to be, and want not to be.
🔥 off the press: new @UCDavisHydro and @UCDavisCRC#CAwater research shows where domestic wells are vulnerable to minimum thresholds.

🚀 "Sustainable for Whom", a new report by @darcybostic and others, offers a fresh take on the old problem of domestic well failure in CA's critical priority GSPs.
🔑 point: well failure under MTs is similar to business as usual extraction, & threatens disadvantaged communities.
How will groundwater sustainability planning affect domestic wells in CA?
Thousands of domestic wells, and those reliant on them, remain vulnerable under GSP definitions of sustainability.

SCIENCE:
If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong.
If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong.
If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.
Our hearts go out to our @UofCalifornia Natural Reserve System friends who have lost their homes and scientists who have lost years of research https://t.co/m2aedxzuvI @UCDavisReserves
The Solutions for Water Resiliency Summit opens with a keynote from California State Treasurer @FionaMa + a panel including our Director @mmlee@BerkeleyDataSci, @CA_DWR, @MNWDWater, + the new #CAWaterData Consortium CEO! Join the convo today: #2020SFWR | https://t.co/6NfrnnNdD3
Congratulations to Isaya Kisekka! He was recognized for his work teaching irrigation and water management with the 2020 Excellence in Education Award from the Irrigation Association. https://t.co/TeRP2u6Jgp #UCDavis@irrigationassoc
Calling all #waterdata enthusiasts: #CAWaterDataChallenge (summer/fall 2020) #team formation and mentoring happening at this event! Datathon: The 5th Annual CA Water Data Summit and Water Solutions 5 https://t.co/DvonD6n45i
You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting. 🧠
Are you on a private well in the Central Valley? The Fresno Bee is looking to understand the experiences of people reliant on domestic wells in Madera, Fresno, Tulare, and Kings counties. https://t.co/S321WDe6QC
