Project Setting

Roseville

Page 3: The Sacramento Regional Groundwater Model Derrick Whitehead Roseville City - Roseville, CA Norm Jones Aquaveo - Provo, UT Michelle Smilowitz Heatwave Data

• Local-scale issues– Aquifer storage and

recovery– Migration of

contaminants

• Regional-scale issues– Long-term demand– Water conservation

strategies– Banking and exchange

• October 2006 through September 2050• Monthly time steps• Two versions– With conservation measures– Without conservation measures

Predictive Model

The Water Conservation Act introduced by Senator Steinberg sets a goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20% by December 31, 2020, with an intermediate goal of reducing per capita water use by at least 10% by December 31, 2015.
