GMS (Groundwater Modeling System) is water modeling application for building and simulating groundwater models from Aquaveo. It features 2D and 3D geostatistics , stratigraphic modeling and a unique conceptual model approach.
The Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program (GAMA) is an all-inclusive monitoring program for groundwater that was implemented in 2000 in California, United States. It was created by the California State Water Resources Control Board as an improvement from groundwater programs that were already in place.

California aquifers, excerpted from map in Ground Water Atlas of the United States (USGS, 2000): Lavender is "other" for "rocks that generally yield less than 10 gal/min to wells"; dark green-blue (3) are the California coastal basin aquifers, bright-turquoise blue (7) is the Central Valley aquifer system, flat cobalt-blue (1) down south is Basin and Range aquifers
[3] [4] As a result, investment into groundwater recharge basins has been steadily increasing in recent years. Groundwater projects are planned to provide an increase of 500,000 acre-feet annually to the water supply. [5] With 2023 being an extreme wet year, California achieved a record-setting 8.7 million acre-feet of groundwater to aquifers. [6]
California passed its landmark groundwater law in 2014. The goals of sustainable management remain a long way off. Despite California groundwater law, aquifers keep dropping in a 'race to the bottom'
California officials on Thursday faulted communities in a stretch of the crop-rich San Joaquin Valley for failing to develop a plan to adequately protect groundwater in the often drought-plagued ...
