Land-Use Change and Future Water Demand in California’s Central Coast

Abstract: Understanding future land-use related water demand is important for planners and resource managers in identifying potential shortages and crafting mitigation strategies. This is especially the case for regions dependent on limited local groundwater supplies. For the groundwater dependent Central Coast of California, we developed two scenarios of future land use and water demand based on sampling from a historical land change record: a business-as-usual scenario (BAU; 1992–2016) and a recent-modern scenario (RM… Show more

“…Overall, compared with that in the east, the level of satisfaction with public services in the west was relatively low. This can be attributed to the fact that the western districts are in contact with the coast (Figure 1) where there are restrictions on land use [50,51]. Table 5.…”

“…Similarly, California is the most populous state in the USA with nearly 40 million people (PPIC 2017). Groundwater supplies up to 85% of total water use in some coastal areas, and this has been projected to rise due to urbanization and agricultural intensification (Wilson et al 2020). As extreme flood and drought events intensify globally (Rodell and Li 2023; Rohde 2023), climate change related impacts are pertinent to large coastal populations, such as those in Queensland and California.…”

“…Finally, ∼1.7 million rural inhabitants (44% of the total population) have access just to sub-surface ground water and water resources contained in small rivers, both exposed to local climate variability and change. Thus, the projected availability of the small rivers' water resources becomes extremely important for future crop production and land use planning [10]. It is important both in the Moldovan context and for other countries with regions depending on small rivers' surface water resources in a similar manner, such as parts of Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, southern parts of European Russia, etc.…”
