1 NOAA s California Drought Service Assessment Kevin Werner Western Region RCSD and Team Lead May 2015
2 Outline California Drought Assessment Goals Assessment Methodology Findings Questions/Discussion 2
3 2014 California Drought driest 3 year period on record for much of state Key 2014 statistics: Precipitation: Less than 2 years worth of average precipitation over last 3 years Mountain snow: 2014 snow pack was about 1/3 average Rivers: 2014 Runoff volumes 10-50% average Reservoirs: Aug 2014 statewide reservoir storage 57% average and 36% capacity California now exceptionally vulnerable to water shortages will take much above average snow/precip to re-charge reservoirs and groundwater 3
4 Continuing in 2015 Extreme drought conditions have persisted into
5 Drought Impacts Water Resources Surface water supply reduced by about one third Major loss of groundwater Agriculture About 17k jobs lost About $2B in economic losses Fisheries Reduced streamflows and warmer temperatures have created challenges for fish 5
6 Assessment Goals Understand drought impacted decisions Understand and describe the decisions impacted by the drought in the following sectors: water resources, agriculture, fisheries, and municipal government Assess NOAA effectiveness Assess the effectiveness of NOAA data, forecasts, and services provided by NOAA to decision makers in the key sectors impacted by the drought during water year
7 Background: Service Assessments NOAA/NWS history of service assessments dates to 1957 Focus on services provided for short duration weather events including tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and storms Identify recommendations for NOAA/NWS to improve services for future events Recommendations tracked No assessment to date on drought Sandy assessment was a NOAA wide assessment 7
8 Assessment Scope Focus on NOAA data, forecasts, and science provided to decision makers in key sectors Identify improvements implementable within six months of report Will not assess NOAA/NMFS regulatory or management actions 8
9 Field Work Overview Team divided into sector focused sub-teams: Water Resources, Agriculture, and Fisheries Each sub-team prioritized and organized stakeholder interviews for diversity of perspective and experience Over 100 stakeholders interviewed for this report include: Internal NOAA Federal Government State/Local Government Academia NGO/Industry Associations Media 9
10 Team Members Lead: Kevin Werner (NESDIS) Vice Lead: Roger Pierce (NWS) Vice Lead: Chad McNutt (OAR) Ryan Wulff (NMFS) Jawed Hameedi (NOS) John Ewald (NOAA HQ Communications) Chris Smallcomb (NWS) Karin Gleason (NESDIS/NCDC) Mike Anderson (CA DWR and CA state climatologist) Chris Stachelski (NWS and NRAP Detailee) Executive Sponsor: NOAA DUS-O VADM Devany 10
11 By the Numbers 10 team members 43 recommendations 100+ interviews 40+ reviewers 400+ comments 62 pages 10 months 3 focus sectors 1 really bad drought 11
12 Assessment Report 12
13 Findings Agriculture (chapter 3) Fisheries and Coastal Ecosystems (chapter 4) Water Resources (chapter 5) Major and Cross Cutting Themes (chapter 6): Matching NOAA investments in science, data, and forecasts to stakeholder needs Improved Seasonal prediction for water resources Improving NOAA collaboration with partner agencies and organizations Develop full natural flow modeling and forecasting Improving NOAA internal coordination 13
14 Agriculture (chapter 3) Agriculture sector desires more NOAA collaboration Explore enhanced ag weather services Mixed reactions and perceptions on El Nino and seasonal prediction Agriculture generally not relying on NOAA seasonal predictions NOAA s drought information not always accessible or relevant Role for NOAA research 14
15 Fish and Coasts (Chapter 4) Opportunities for improved water modeling and forecasting targeted at key decision makers: Full natural flow of surface water Water quality for surface and Bay Delta water Water temperature forecasting Improving localized NOAA information and application NOAA s Habitat Blueprint viewed as best practice by stakeholders 15
16 Water Resources (chapter 5) Opportunities exist to improve application of water resource forecasts particularly in reservoir operations Improved cool season precipitation forecasts for mountains is a major opportunity Forecast improvements desired by stakeholders: Importance of weather and climate reforecasts for water resources forecasting Online forecast verification capabilities Greater usage of NCDC s data expertise 16
17 Improved Seasonal Prediction for Water Resources Matching NOAA investments in science, data, and forecasts to stakeholder needs Improve cool season precipitation forecasts and their application Improving NOAA collaboration with partner agencies and organizations Best practices: Russian River Habitat Blueprint and Hydromet Testbed Partner with other agencies to develop capabilities for full natural flow modeling and forecasting 17
18 Improved Seasonal Prediction for Water Resources #1 Stakeholder request: What is the forecast for the upcoming winter s precipitation? 18
19 Full Natural Flow Modeling and Forecasting Finding: Many water decision makers water boards, fisheries managers, coastal ecosystem planners, and recreational water users in particular require a "whole" view of water system environments (physical and biological elements). Recommendation: NOAA should initiate (or expand through existing Integrated Water Resources Services and Science MOU) a partnership among other federal and state agencies (particularly USGS and DWR) and other stakeholders for scoping modeling and monitoring activities needed to estimate and forecast full natural flows (FNFs) in streams and rivers in California. 19
20 Improved NOAA Coordination NOAA expertise on drought and water resources dispersed through agency and geography NWS WFOs and RFCs are the de facto front line for most services National centers contain significant expertise Challenge: Effectively leverage strengths of agency s components for stakeholders 20
