SUMMARY:LA’s Water Resource Future - Workshop 2: Understanding Local Groundwater Storage Potential
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to the public\, but space is limited. To RSVP\, contact Nikki Parrish\, Program Administrator\, UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge.The goal of the LA’s Water Resource Future series is to bring togetherresearchers\, water resource managers\, and other stakeholders to investigate the\nquestion: How much stormwater can Los Angeles County capture and store as\ngroundwater by 2050 and beyond\, given climate change\, water quality concerns\,\necosystem concerns\, and economic and policy constraints? This discussion will inform the\nimplementation of the UCLA Sustainable LA Grand Challenge Work Plan by\nidentifying stakeholder information needs\, research capabilities and gaps\, and\nopportunities for collaboration. \nThis workshop is the second in a two-part\nseries. The first\, Understanding Local Stormwater Capture Potential\, explored\nrecent stormwater capture planning efforts and the modeling tools used therein;\nhow to achieve integrated climate\, surface hydrology\, and groundwater modeling;\necosystem considerations in stormwater capture; and policy barriers to\nincreased capture and potential solutions.  \nWe are now undertaking a research effort to couple\nexisting stormwater capture and groundwater models to get a better grasp of the\nquantities of captured stormwater that infiltrates to groundwater for projects\nthat don’t go into a spreading ground through a pipe. \nThis second workshop will focus on current\nand future groundwater basin conditions\, management\, and rights in the\ngroundwater basins serving Los Angeles County. The aims are to better\nunderstand: \nHow the basins were adjudicated\, how they are\ncurrently managed\, how ownership rights have changed since adjudication\, how\nreplenishment through spreading grounds is now financed\, and the implications\nfor efforts to increase stormwater capture and infiltrationThe current state of knowledge of hydrogeology in the\nregion\, how sea level rise due to climate change is expected to affect the\ngroundwater basins serving LA County\, and the implications for efforts to\nincrease stormwater capture and infiltrationFrom groundwater managers’ and stormwater capture\nagencies’ perspective\, what the challenges are for incentivizing infiltration\nof urban stormwater runoff\, and what information is needed to value infiltrated\nstormwater in groundwater  PROGRAM \n9:00 AM – 9:15 AM – Welcome and Opening Remarks \nCasandra\nRauser\, Director\,\nSustainable LA Grand Challenge \nMadelyn\nGlickfeld\, Director\nUCLA Water Resources Group \n9:15\nAM – 10:30 AM – Session 1   \nWater\nrights in adjudicated and unadjudicated basins in the Los Angeles County:\nHistory\, current status\, implications for stormwater capture and storage\, and\nlegal solutions \nHow were\nthe groundwater basins in Los Angeles County adjudicated? Who has\nthe right to store and extract groundwater in each basin in the region? How have\nthose rights changed over time? How does\nthis relate to the incredibly complex array of water entities who deliver water\nin the LA Basin? Are\ngovernance arrangements adequate for non–rights holders to obtain storage and\nextraction rights for water captured through new stormwater projects? What legal\nor administrative changes to adjudications or other institutional agreements\nwould need to happen to give value to stormwater replenishment projects? \nModerator:  J.R. DeShazo\, Professor and Director\,\nLuskin Center for Innovation \n[20\nminutes] Presentation by William\nBlomquist\, Indiana University\nHistory of basin adjudication in Southern California  \n[20\nminutes] Presentation by Stephanie\nPincetl\, Professor and Director\, UCLA California Center for Sustainable\nCommunities\nThe evolution of water rights holders in the adjudicated basins\, discussion\nof the implications of these rights for increased stormwater storage in these\nareas. \n[20\nminutes] Alf Brandt\, Senior Counsel\,\nOffice of CA State Assembly Speaker Rendon\nIncreasing incentives for stormwater capture and storage in adjudicated\nbasins.   \n[20\nminutes] Eric L.\nGarner\, Partner\nBest\, Best and Kreiger\nIncreasing stormwater incentives for non–rights holders in adjudicated basins\,\nand in unadjudicated basins subject to SGMA: \nWhat are the legal avenues for stormwater agencies and groundwater basin\nmanagers to do this? \n[15\nminutes] Audience Q&A \nBREAK: 10:30 AM – 10:45 AM \n10:45 AM – 12:15 PM – Session 2 \nThe current physical state and\nmanagement of LA County’s major groundwater basins: \nHow\nmuch storage capacity do these groundwater basins have? How\nmuch of this capacity is not currently used\, representing extra storage\npotential for captured stormwater? Where\ndoes hydrogeology make increased infiltration/injection of stormwater to groundwater\nbasins feasible? Which\nbasins have pollution issues\, and how is this accounted for in management of\nthe basin? What\nare current arrangements for compensating entities supplying groundwater\nreplenishment including reclaimed and imported water? \nModerator\,\nErik Porse\, Post Doctoral Researcher\nUCLA California Center for Sustainable Communities \n[20\nminutes] Ted Johnson\, Hydrogeologist\, Water Replenishment District of\nSouthern California\, Central and West Coast Basins  \n[20\nminutes] Richard Slade\, Watermaster\, Upper Los Angeles River Area\nBasin (ULARA) \n[20\nminutes] Steven Johnson or Kevin Smead\, Stetson Engineers\, San Gabriel and Raymond Basin \n[15 minutes] Greg\nReed\, Water Resources\, Los Angeles\nDepartment of Water and Power will discuss the status of unadjudicated basins\nin Los Angeles County under SGMA and who is involved in responded to SGMA for\nthose basins  \n[15\nminutes] Audience Q&A \nLUNCH:\n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM \n1:30 PM – 2:40 PM – Session 3  \nClimate change and the Potential\nImpact of Sea Level Rise on Coastal Groundwater Basins: \nWhich\ngroundwater basins are vulnerable to sea level rise with climate change?  Can we model\nthe extent of intrusion? Will the existing salt water intrusion barriers work\nto stem the impacts of sea level on saltwater intrusion?  Are new\nsaltwater intrusion barriers going to be needed or feasible?   \nModerator\,\nAlex Hall\, Professor and Director\nUCLA Center for Climate Change Solutions \nCurrent Management of the\nSeawater Intrusion Barriers: \n[15\nminutes]  Eric Batman\, Los Angeles County Department\nof Public Works \n[15\nminutes] Ted Johnson\, Southern\nCalifornia Water Replenishment District \nProjecting the impact of sea\nlevel rise on coastal groundwater basins:  \n[20\nminutes]  Tracy Nishikawa\, USGS Water Science Center – How can we estimate\nhow projected sea level rise will affect the coastal groundwater basins and the\nsalt water intrusion barriers?   \nAudience\nQ&A 15 minutes \nBREAK:  2:40 – 2:55 \n2:55 PM – 4:15 PM   Session 4:  \nIncreasing\nConjunctive Use and Storage through More Stormwater Capture: Moderated Panel\nand Audience Discussions  \nWhat\nwould make a coupled stormwater and groundwater model useful to you in\ndetermining the water supply quantification of any given stormwater capture\nproject?How\ncan we improve the incentives for stormwater capture and storage in groundwater\nbasins? Could\nstorage and extraction rights be granted to those who do projects to infiltrate\nwater? Or\, are there easier or better ways to do this? What\nare the concerns about stormwater infiltration into groundwater? Is there a\nmaximum that can be infiltrated and a maximum that can be drawn out? What\nare the legal and physical basin constraints to allowing additional stormwater\nproject infiltration to be extracted?  \nModerator\, Madelyn Glickfeld\, Director\, UCLA\nWater Resources Group \nAngela George\,  Los Angeles\nCounty Flood Control District  Richard Slade\, Watermaster Upper Los Angeles River Area Basin Rafael Villegas\, Los  Angeles\nDepartment of Water and Power Robb Whitaker\, General Manager Water Replenishment District of\nSouthern California\, Staff for Central and West Basin Watermaster Tony Zampiello\, Watermaster\, Raymond and Main San Gabriel Basin Debra Man (invited)\, Metropolitan Water District of Southern CaliforniaAlf Brandt\, Senior\nCounsel\, Office of CA State Assembly Speaker RendonEric Garner\, Partner\nBest\, Best and Kreiger \n4:15 PM – 4:30 PM \nSummary and Next Steps
