Interagency Ecological Program: Drift invertebrate catch and water quality from the Sacramento River channel, and Sacramento River floodplain and tidal slough, collected by the Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program, 1998-2019

Largely supported by the Interagency Ecological Program (IEP), the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has operated a fisheries and invertebrate monitoring program in the Yolo Bypass since 1998. The main objectives of the Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program (YBFMP) are to collect baseline data on lower trophic levels (phytoplankton, zooplankton and insect drift), juvenile and adult fish, hydrology, and water quality parameters. As the Yolo Bypass has been identified as a high restoration priority by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service biological opinions for Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and winter and spring-run Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and by California EcoRestore, these baseline data are critical for evaluating success of future restoration projects. In addition, the data have already served to increase our understanding of the role of the Yolo Bypass in the life history of native fishes, and its ecological function in the San Francisco Estuary. Aquatic and terrestrial insects are an important component in the diet of juvenile and adult fishes within the San Francisco Estuary, including two important native fishes: juvenile Chinook Salmon and Sacramento Splittail. The YBFMP collects drift invertebrates year-round from two sites. Since 2011, samples have been collected biweekly (every other week) to weekly (during floodplain inundation) using a rectangular aquatic drift net that sits at the surface of the water. Invertebrates are identified and enumerated by contractors (currently EcoAnalysts, Inc.). The goals of the monitoring program are to compare the seasonal variations in densities and species trends of aquatic and terrestrial insects/non-insects within (1) Sacramento River channel, and (2) the Yolo Bypass, the river’s seasonal floodplain. Key findings to date: (1) Chinook Salmon sampled in the floodplain had diets comprised of 90% Dipterans and zooplankton, with Chironomidae being the dominant Diptera family (Sommer et al., 2001), (2)The floodplain of the Yolo Bypass contains significantly higher densities of Diptera (Diptera densities being positively associated with flow) and terrestrial invertebrates than the adjacent Sacramento River (Sommer et al. 2001b: Sommer et al. 2004: Sommer et al. 2007), (3) A major portion of the diet of juvenile Sacramento Splittail are chironomid larvae (Kurth and Nobriga 2001, Moyle et al. 2004, Sommer et al. 2007), and (4) The Yolo Bypass was the site of the recent discovery of a new aestivating and winter emerging chironomid; Hydrobaenus saetheri (Cranston et al. 2007).

ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

Interagency Ecological Program: Discrete water quality and phytoplankton data from the Sacramento River floodplain and Yolo Bypass tidal slough, collected by the Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program, 1998 - 2022

The Yolo Bypass Fish Monitoring Program (YBFMP) operates a rotary screw trap and fyke trap and conducts biweekly beach seine and lower trophic surveys in addition to maintaining water quality instrumentation in the bypass. The YBFMP serves to fill information gaps regarding environmental conditions in the bypass that trigger migrations and enhanced survival and growth of native fishes, as well as provide data for IEP synthesis efforts. YBFMP staff also conduct analyses of YBFMP monitoring data to address pertinent management related questions as identified by IEP. The Yolo Bypass has been identified as a high restoration priority by the National Marine Fisheries Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinions for Delta Smelt, Winter and Spring-run Chinook salmon and by California EcoRestore. The YBFMP informs the restoration actions that are mandated or recommended in these plans and provides critical baseline data on the ecology of the bypass and how it interacts with the broader San Francisco Estuary. Program objectives include: Collecting baseline data on water quality, chlorophyll, lower trophic level biota, and fish in the Yolo Bypass to monitor spatial and temporal changes in trends and abundance; Analyzing and communicating Yolo Bypass data with stakeholders and the scientific and management communities to address pertinent management related questions; Providing technical expertise on Yolo Bypass aquatic ecology and monitoring and sampling methods.

We collect discrete water quality data using a YSI ProDSS and sample phytoplankton, chlorophyll and nutrients as discrete water grabs taken biweekly (or weekly during Yolo Bypass inundation) along with lower trophic tows. Water is sampled at three sites along the Yolo Bypass and Sacramento River, then processed and analyzed by an internal DWR laboratory.
Solar Resource Areas (2022)

Solar Resource Areas created were produced using a k-means method that groups solar generating plants into discrete regions based on their latitude, longitude, and distance to the coast. After facilities were grouped, the outermost facilities in each region were connected to create the boundaries for each region. To include all facilities inside each polygon, a 5 km buffer was used. Plants that are farther from a concentration of other plants are not included in a region and are instead displayed as outlying facilities. Areas outside California included in the the regions are a result of the mapping process and are not representing actual solar generating facilities. Based on the Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report dataset, this map focuses on data from plants of at least 1 MW capacity (commercial scale) and excludes smaller plants.<div><br /></div><div>For more information please contact John Hingtgen (916) 510-9747.</div>

DWR Urban Water Use Objective Analyzer Tool

With the enactment of Senate Bill 606 (Hertzberg) and Assembly Bill 1668 (Friedman) in 2018, California established a new framework for long term urban water use efficiency and conservation. This landmark legislation required the Department of Water Resources (DWR), in coordination with the State Water Board, to develop recommendations for new urban water use efficiency standards that would result in lower aggregate statewide urban water use than achieved by the SB X7-7 statewide 2020 target.

DWR developed the DWR Urban Water Use Objective Analyzer tool to, among other things, evaluate alternative water use efficiency standards in relation to the statewide SB X7-7 water use target for 2020. This spreadsheet model utilizes the various data sources to estimate Urban Water Use Objective and Objective Based Total Water Use for the State’s urban retail water supplier. The "Read Me" tab of the spreadsheet provides description of the data sources used in the Objective Analyzer Tool.

To use the model to evaluate different scenarios, users can input varying assumptions in yellow boxes on the "Dashboard" worksheet. This worksheet also summarizes the model's outputs. This is the only worksheet where the user can modify model inputs. The other worksheets store data or perform calculations. All worksheets in the DWR Urban Water Use Objective Analyzer, except for the Dashboard worksheet, are password protected to prevent inadvertent changes to data and formulas. Users are expected to download the excel file to their local computer before entering new values on the Dashboard worksheets.

For additional details, see DWR reports “Recommendations for Urban Water Use Efficiency Standards, Variances, Performance Measures, and Annual Water Use Reporting (Report No. WUES-DWR-2021-01A)” and “Recommendations for Outdoor Residential Water Use Efficiency Standard (Report No. WUES-DWR-2021-02)” at https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/2018-Water-Conservation-Legislation/Urban-Water-Use-Efficiency-Standards-Variances-and-Performance-Measures.
