  • Knowledge gaps, water caps and regulatory traps

    Open AccessGustavo Facincani Dourado, Josué Medellín–Azuara et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Knowledge gaps, water caps and regulatory traps: policies, practices, and lessons from environmental flow requirements in the San Joaquin River, California, Dourado, Gustavo Facincani, Medellín-Azuara, Josué, Fortier, Marie-Odile, Viers, Joshua H

  • Shorter growing seasons may moderate climate change effects on crop water demands

    Open AccessJohn T Abatzoglou, Lauren E Parker et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Rising evaporative demand (ETo) with a warming climate contributes to diminished water availability in water-stressed agricultural regions globally. While increased ETo typically necessitates increased irrigation, we explore how crop phenological response can moderate this challenge. Focusing on five key agricultural crops in California’s San Joaquin Valley (SJV), we employ coupled water balance and phenology models to project crop water demands …

  • Drivers of domestic wells vulnerability during droughts in California’s Central Valley

    Open AccessJosé M Rodríguez-Flores, Angel Santiago Fernandez‐Bou et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Over the past decade, California has experienced two multiyear droughts, resulting in water insecurity for communities and significant economic losses for the agricultural sector. Despite the recognition of water as a human right in the state since 2012, droughts consistently lead to the failure of thousands of domestic wells due to intensified groundwater pumping for irrigation purposes. In the Central Valley alone, groundwater sustains the live…

  • Unexpected growth of an illegal water market

    Open AccessChristian Klassert, Jim Yoon et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Cited by: 4References: 7

    Scarce and unreliable urban water supply in many countries has caused municipal users to rely on transfers from rural wells via unregulated markets. Assessments of this pervasive water re-allocation institution and its impacts on aquifers, consumer equity and affordability are lacking. We present a rigorous coupled human–natural system analysis of rural-to-urban tanker water market supply and demand in Jordan, a quintessential example of a nation…

  • Community Perspectives and Environmental Justice in California's San Joaquin Valley

    Open AccessHumberto Flores-Landeros, Chantelise Pells et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Justice2021

    There is a surge of interest in reaching social and environmental justice in California's disadvantaged communities by governments, nongovernmental organizations, and academia. However, actions taken so far are insufficient to reduce those inequities substantially. We propose the lack of effective policies and relevant scientific work results in part from research that does not consider the communities' perspectives. The struggles that disadvanta…

  • Underrepresented, understudied, underserved

    Open AccessAngel Santiago Fernandez‐Bou, J Pablo Ortiz-Partida et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Cited by: 5References: 6

    A common approach in scientific research and policy is a commitment to develop projects or legislation trying to improve problems experienced by low-income and rural communities; however, lack of interaction with community members during the process tends to produce unsatisfactory results. We visited disadvantaged communities in the San Joaquin Valley of California and interviewed local stakeholders (community members and leaders, policy advocate…
