  2. Agenda 1. General Update 2. Recap of October Meeting 3. Management Actions 4. GSA Role/Responsibility Discussion

  3. GSP Primary Chapters • Basin Setting • Sustainable Management Criteria • Monitoring Networks • Management Actions

  4. SFKGSA Visualization Model & GIS GIS (Web-enabled) Visualization

  5. SFK Groundwater Quality

  6. Tulare Lake Subbasin (TLSB) Local Model Model Boundary Tulare Lake Subbasin Boundaries

  7. Modeled Storage Change within TLSB + cumulative increase from 1990 + Storage increase from previous year -Storage loss from previous year cumulative loss from 1990 Long-Term Net Decline in Groundwater Storage within the TLSB

  10. Thinking in % of Total…… 700,000 100% 90% 600,000 Total Current Pumping (AF) 80% % Current Total Pumping 500,000 70% 60% 400,000 50% 300,000 40% 30% 200,000 20% 100,000 10% - 0% TLSB SFKGSA TLSB SFKGSA Sustainable Yield Overdraft Sustainable Yield Overdraft

  11. Defining Sustainable Yield 100% 90% “Undesirable” Storage Decline 80% = Overdraft Correction (We Are Here) 70% “Undesirable” Subsidence 60% % Total Pumping = Yield Adjustment #1 (could be zero) 50% “Undesirable” Water Quality 40% = Yield Adjustment #2 (could be zero) 30% 20% 10% 0% Sustainable Yield Overdraft

  12. 3 Steps to Sustainability 100% 1. Correct overdraft (2040) 90% 80% % Total Current Pumping 70% 60% 2. Maintain Sustainability 50% 40% 30% 3. Adaptive Management 20% 10% 0% SFKGSA Sustainable Yield Overdraft

  17. Overdraft Reduction Allocation/Targets SW Delivery Conservation/Reuse Water Import/Export Improvement Land Conversion Dry Year Management * New Storage** • Main Canal Lining • Secondary Canal Lining On Farm Efficiency • Scheduling Improvements Improvement SW Delivery Improvement Surrounding SW Delivery efficiency = less pumping Basin Infow/outflow Minimize impacts to shallow wells Improvements S F K GS A

  18. Overdraft Reduction Allocation/Targets On-Farm Efficiency Conservation/Reuse Water Import/Export Improvement Land Conversion Dry Year Management * New Storage** • BMPs • System Pressurization On Farm Efficiency • Drip Conversion Improvement • Sprinkler conversion SW Delivery Improvement Surrounding Reduced total demand = less pumping Basin Infow/outflow Improvements S F K GS A

  19. Overdraft Reduction Allocation/Targets New Storage Conservation/Reuse Water Import/Export Land Conversion Dry Year • Better use of existing storage Management * • Wet Year Fill New Storage** • Surface Water • Groundwater (aka Recharge) On Farm Efficiency Improvement In order to reduce overdraft, storage volume SW Delivery must be proportional to frequency of wet year Improvement conditions and ability to carry-over Surrounding Basin Increased volume used in-lieu of Infow/outflow Improvements pumping = pumping reduction S F K GS A

  20. Overdraft Reduction Allocation/Targets Dry Year Management Conservation/Reuse Water Import/Export Land Conversion Dry Year • Fallowing – Seasonal crop Management * • Trading – Seasonal --> Permanent New Storage** On Farm Efficiency In order to reduce overdraft, acreage in Improvement fallowing or trading program must be SW Delivery proportional to frequency of dry year Improvement conditions Surrounding Basin Infow/outflow Reduced demand = less pumping Improvements S F K GS A
