DACs - Census

The following data were used for the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Mapping Tool: https://gis.water.ca.gov/app/dacs/.  The data source is from the US Census (American Community Survey), that may include attribute table additions by DWR. 
The DAC Mapping Tool was designed, and the related datasets made publicly available, to assist in the evaluation of DACs throughout the state, as may relate to the various Grant Programs within the Financial Assistance Branch (FAB) at DWR.  The definition of DAC may vary by grant program (within FAB, DWR or grant programs of other public agencies).  As such, users should be familiar with the specific requirements for meeting DAC status, based on the particular grant solicitation/program of interest.

Vegetation - Modoc Plateau - Shinn, Likely, and Snowstorm Mountains - 2020 [ds2877]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span style='font-size:12pt'>Under contract to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), The Geographical Information Center (GIC) was tasked with creating a fine-scale vegetation and land use map of portions of the Modoc Plateau in northeastern California. The mapping effort was done in a two phases. The first phase started in 2016 and covered the ecoregion subsections named Cottonwood-Skedaddle Mountains, Likely Mountain, and the eastern portion of Eagle Lake-Observation Peak (Miles and Goudey 1997) which covered nearly 1.1 million acres. The second phase began in 2018 and covered the ecoregion subsections named Devil’s Garden and Adin Mountains, which covered an additional 866,228 acres. This map was produced during phase one of the project and covers approximately 1,091,702 acres in eastern Lassen and southern Modoc counties. The vegetation map followed guidelines set forth by the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) and A Manual of California Vegetation (MCV). It is an Alliance level map overall, with photo-interpreters attempting to map to the more specific Association level when they were confident to go to that level of detail. The GIC used 2016 NAIP imagery for mapping. Accuracy assessments were performed in 2018 and 2020. </span></p><p><span style='font-size:12pt'>The minimum mapping unit (MMU) varies by vegetation type. </span><span>For standard vegetation polygons the MMU is 1 acre.

California's Groundwater (Bulletin 118)

California’s Groundwater (Bulletin 118) is the State’s official publication on the occurrence and nature of groundwater in California. __The latest version of the report, California's Groundwater - Update 2020 was publicly released on November 16, 2021.__ The publication defines the boundaries and describes the hydrologic characteristics of California’s groundwater basins. California’s Groundwater also provides information on groundwater management and recommendations for the future.

With the passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act in 2014, California’s Groundwater now serves an additional role by providing Groundwater Sustainability Agencies with three critical pieces of information regarding groundwater basins: Critical Conditions of Overdraft, Basin Boundaries, and Basin Priority. Updates to California’s Groundwater will be released every five years starting in 2020. 

This dataset includes the latest update, historical publications and supporting documents for California's Groundwater
Bay-Delta SCHISM Atmospheric Collection v1.0 [SUPERSEDED]

This dataset is SUPERSEDED. Unless you have a particular motive and really know what you are doing, please use the newer version: https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/edit/bay-delta-schism-atmospheric-collection-v2-0

This dataset collects together collated and interpolated data required to run schism and are formatted for use in the model. SCHISM requires atmopheric data files in netcdf format as described here: http://ccrm.vims.edu/w/index.php/Atmospheric_forcing. These include ordered files with _air _rad and _prec in the name.  The _air data are constructed by DWR based on spatial interpolation from approximately 71 public and private stations around the Bay-Delta. The _prec and _rad data are obtained from North America Regional Reanalysis data: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.narr.html

Soil units qualifying for Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance are determined by the NRCS. Changes to soil profiles subsequent to publication of NRCS soil surveys are not reflected in this data.

Bay-Delta SCHISM Atmospheric Collection v2.0

This dataset collects together collated and interpolated data required to run schism and are formatted for use in the model. SCHISM requires atmopheric data files in netcdf format as described here: http://ccrm.vims.edu/w/index.php/Atmospheric_forcing. These include ordered files with _air (wind, spec. humidity, pressure etc) _rad (long and short wave radiatin) and _prec (precipitation) in the name. These are often implemented using symbolic links to the files here. The data used for Bay-Delta SCHISM vary by period. For simulations centered before 2020, we use the _air data constructed by DWR based on spatial interpolation from approximately 71 public and private stations around the Bay-Delta. The _prec and _rad data are obtained from North America Regional Reanalysis data: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.narr.html. For simulations centered after 2020, we use the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (https://rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/) data for all three variables. Around 2020 both options are viable and we choose whichever provides continuity across the period of study.

Recovery Strategy for California Coho Salmon, Coho Tasks Database - 2004

The Coho Tasks Database contains the Implementation Tasks from tables 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 of the Recovery Strategy for California Coho Salmon (2004). The data was normalized and cross-referenced to Calwater 2.2.1 watershed units. Some updates were performed in 2005 and are noted in the data.

The database contains a set of related tables primarily related to the TASK table. The TASK table includes a description of the activity to perform. The PRIORITY table contains the description of the coded TASK.PRIORITY column. Similarly, the LEVEL table contains the description for the coded TASK.LEVEL column. The TASK_FOOTNOTE table is a many-to-many bridge between the TASK and FOOTNOTE tables. This captures the footnotes for tasks from the original document. Finally, the TASK_CALW contains the mapping of TASK records to Calwater 2.2.1 records. A task may be mapped to zero or more TASK_CALW records.

Sacramento Orcutt Grass Monitoring - Phoenix Field Ecological Reserve

This dataset contains data from a nested frequency monitoing program for two vernal pools containing the endangered Sacramento Orcutt grass (Orcuttia viscida) at the approximately eight-acre California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Phoenix Field Ecological Reserve in Sacramento County, California.
