UC Irvine to size up, help forecast state’s water supply

From the O.C. Register’s ScienceDude:

UC Irvine has been awarded $2.5 million to use satellites and field research to more accurately determine how much water exists throughout California, and how its distributed through various natural and artificial means.

The money came from the UC Office of the President, which is paying UCI earth system scientist Jay Famiglietti to help develop more advanced models of California’s current water supply, and how much the state is likely to have in the future.

Much of the research will focus on sizing up how much water is contained in everything from groundwater tables to soil.
