The Arvin-Edison Water Storage District (AEWSD), located in Kern County, California, will update
and upgrade an existing groundwater flow model and decision support tool. This project will
enhance AEWSD’s abilities to predict groundwater levels and land subsidence conditions,
support design and implementation of adaptive water supply projects, and assist in
management decisions under future hydrologic and water supply uncertainties. Kern County has
experienced three long-term droughts over the last 20 years with 2021 being the driest year on
record. This project will improve drought resiliency by enabling AEWSD to forecast the impacts
of water supply shortages in real-time. The project is supported by the Arvin Community
Services District.
