Water Rights Demand Analysis Methodology Datasets

The following datasets are used for the Water Rights Demand Analysis project and are formatted to be used in the calculations. The State Water Resources Control Board Division of Water Rights (Division) has developed a methodology to standardize and improve the accuracy of water diversion and use data that is used to determine water availability and inform water management and regulatory decisions. The Water Rights Demand Data Analysis Methodology (Methodology waterboards.ca.gov/drought/drought_tools_methods/demandanalysis.html ) is a series of data pre-processing steps, R Scripts, and data processing modules that identify and help address data quality issues related to both the self-reported water diversion and use data from water right holders or their agents and the Division of Water Rights electronic water rights data.
