The feature dataset contains storm water projects planned in the future throughout California that involve groundwater recharge and direct use. It was used to develop storm water targets for the years 2020 and 2035 per directives to DWR in California Water Code Section 10608.50 (b). As of February 2018, projects included are those proposed to be constructed post 2014. Information from various databases was used to compile the project database. More details can be found in Appendix A of the DWR report “Determination of New Statewide Stormwater Targets for Groundwater Recharge and Direct Use Benefitting Urban Water Supply”. Expected public release: March 2018.

The feature dataset contains data representing storm water projects planned in the future throughout regions in California that involve groundwater recharge and direct use. It was used to develop storm water targets for the years 2020 and 2035 per directives to DWR in California Water Code Section 10608.50 (b). As of February 2018, projects included are those proposed to be constructed post 2014.

The feature dataset contains geophysical properties to analyze where obstacles to infiltration exist and where infiltration would be most desirable. Such properties include areas of mapped landslides or liquefaction potential, depth to groundwater, slope, hydrologic soil group, and geology (pervious or impervious). An aquifer classification system was also developed to guide prioritization. Each aquifer underlying Los Angeles was classified according to the ability of LADWP to pump the aquifer for use in LADWP’s distribution network. Each sub-basin in the LADWP model was assigned a Category A (High), B (Medium), or C (Low) depending on its combination of geophysical obstacles and opportunities and aquifer class. Areas categorized as “A” or “High” were those having the fewest hydrogeologic constraints (i.e. few obstacles to infiltration, highly infiltrative soils, permeable aquifers) and were overlying the highest priority aquifers. These would be most conducive to infiltration BMPs. Category “B” or “Medium” areas were somewhat geologically constrained and overlying mid-level priority aquifers. These areas were also considered suitable for infiltration BMPs. Category “C” or “Low” areas contain obstacles to infiltration and/or were overlying low-priority aquifers, making them more conducive to direct use BMPs.

The feature datasets contain Phase 1 and Phase 2 municipal separate stormwater sewer system (MS4s) permittees in California. These draft layers are based on 2010 census data and they have not been updated since 2013 and there are no current plans to include them as a SWRCB web service. Most of the Phase 1 permittees encompass an entire metropolitan area. The Municipal Storm Water Program manages the Phase I Permit Program (serving municipalities over 100,000 people), the Phase II Permit Program (for municipalities less than 100,000), and the Statewide Storm Water Permit for the State of California Department of Transportation. The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (collectively, the Water Boards) implement and enforce the Municipal Storm Water Program.

The purpose of this feature class is to delineate an approximate centerline for the State Water Project canals.,

This is a point feature class of all groundwater elevation monitoring stations (wells) maintained in the California Department of Water Resources’ (hereafter the Department) Enterprise Water Management database. Individual station information comes from a wide variety of sources, including and local and federal agencies, that conduct groundwater elevation monitoring within the state of California.

Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) 2019 Basin Prioritization for California's 515 groundwater basins. Groundwater basin geometry from i08_B118_CA_GroundwaterBasins joined to i08_ B118_SGMA_2019_Basin_Prioritization table, and then exported to create this feature class. The final results of SGMA 2019 Basin Prioritization were released on December 6, 2019.
