UC Merced —
A National Academies committee that includes a UC Merced researcher recently released its findings from a review of the science behind the operations of two massive California water projects.
Civil and environmental engineering Professor Josué Medellín-Azuara is a member of an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The committee conducted the first of what is expected to be biennial reviews of the monitoring, modeling, and other relevant scientific activities and initiatives that support the long-term operations of the Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.
