Groundwater, Climate And Stakeholder Engagement (GCASE)

Groundwater, Climate And Stakeholder Engagement (GCASE)

Project Summary

Planning to meet water demands in semi-arid regions is particularly challenging for groundwater dependent communities where aquifers are being replenished by intermittent streamflow events.  Projected and observed climatic changes for the Southwest increase uncertainties. The project, Incorporating Climate Information and Stakeholder Engagement in Groundwater Resources Planning and Management, employs a novel modeling framework and extensive stakeholder interactions to achieve the following three objectives: (1) Address climate uncertainties with a sophisticated modeling framework; (2) Increase stakeholder capacity to adapt water planning and management to future climate uncertainties; and (3) Establish the transferability of the modeling framework and capacity building approach.
