In collaboration with the California Institute for Water Resources, University of California academics provide solutions to address water-related issues in California. The Institute leverages federal investment to focus attention on the most critical water issues for the state. Currently funded projects include:
- Maura Allaire of UC Irvine is assessing the health impacts of impaired water quality in California.
- Ellen Bruno of UC Berkeley is researching the relationship between groundwater regulation and land fallowing.
- Helen Dahlke of UC Davis is investigating the suitability of alfalfa for winter groundwater recharge.
- Isaya Kisekka of UC Davis is researching precision irrigation management for optimizing limited water in young and mature almond orchards.
- Rosemary Knight of Stanford is estimating hydraulic conductivity in glacial aquifers.
- Mehdi Nemati of UC Riverside is determining the effect of pricing structure on urban water demand.
- Albert Ruhi of UC Berkeley is developing a mechanistic understanding of the multi-scale effects of drought on riverine biodiversity.
- Leah Stokes of UC Santa Barbara is evaluating water conservation policy in California.
- Margaret Zimmer of UC Santa Cruz is assessing water storage for management in California’s oak woodlands.
