Managing water resources in semiarid watersheds is challenging because of limited water supply and uncertain impacts of future climate conditions on groundwater resources. This paper examines the impact of future climate changes on the urban Yucaipa Valley watershed in southern California using an integrated hydrological model referred to herein as the Yucaipa model. Coupled Groundwater and Surface-water FLOW (GSFLOW) modeling software was used to simulate the nonlinear relationships between climate trends and precipitation partitioning into evapotranspiration (ET), runoff, and subsurface storage. Four global climate models (also known as general circulation models or GCMs), each with two greenhouse-gas (GHG) scenarios:...
A three-dimensional, GSFLOW model was developed to simulate and quantify the hydrologic system of the Yucaipa subbasin. The model was calibrated to conditions from 1970 to 2014, the period for which data are most complete and reliable. The model was used to (1) quantify the effects of historical and potential water-resource development induced by climate changes and human-related activities, and (2) to derive components of the daily water budgets for the components of the integrated model for calendar years 1970–2014 (long-term average), with particular attention given to groundwater budgets for dry and wet periods. The model also was used to assess the effects of pumping and climate stresses on hydrologic-budget...
