Abstract
Modeling Integrated Water Resources in Los Angeles
"The history of the growth and development of Los Angeles... reveals its conscious use of water as a tool to build the 'great metropolis of the Pacific'"
-- Vincent Ostrom, 1962
Welcome to the repository for Artes, an integrated model of urban water resources in metropolitan Los Angeles (LA). It evaluates the potential for enhanced local water supplies in LA.
Los Angeles (LA) relies on large infrastructure systems that import water over hundreds of miles. Communities in LA face a future of increased water scarcity and reduced imports. Hundreds of water agencies serve nearly 10 million people within the county. Laws, institutions, and hydrogeology all influence the capacity of these agencies to adapt to future changes. To analyze the potential for future local water reliance and resilience, we used systems analysis of urban water management in metropolitan LA County to assess opportunities for increasing local water reliance. We developed a detailed network flow model to investigate management tradeoffs across engineered, social, and environmental systems.
The model and its underlying data have been used to produce 11 peer-reviewed studies. Model outputs and methods have also informed numerous regional studies and plans, including:
- the LA County Sustainability Plan,
- UCLA's Los Angeles Environmental Report Card,
- the Santa Monica Groundwater Sustainability Plan's evaluation of integrated basin management options,
- California's Fourth Climate Change Assessment (Los Angeles Regional section).
The model is a product of the California Center for Sustainable Communities at UCLA.

Name | Value |
---|---|
GIS | Repository of shape files used in building the link-node network of the model. Shape files of watersheds derived from the WMMS model. Shape files of LA County water retailers represented in the model and mapped on the The LA Water Hub, with associated data (primarily from 2010 Urban Water Management Plans). Includes shape files for both water retailers and MWD member agencies. Some agencies are members of both data sets. |
Data | Databases with model data inputs for three model variations: maximizing flows from local sources (Porse et al, 2017), simulating groundwater exchange pools (Porse et al, 2017), and minimizing total costs (Porse et al, 2018). Data files are named according to scenario parameters, For instance, for the max_flows scenario, databases include full demands and full historic imported water supplies (LASM_Data_D100_S100). The second includes full demands and no imported water (LASM_Data_D100_S0). The third includes agreesive conservation and no imported water supplies (LASM_Data_SP_S0). More documentation available in the manual and the JWRPM study describes development of methods and results. Example output files, which can be copied to a local folder for output. The script searches for existing output files and will return an error without them. The folder sp_scenario shows output files for the Sustainability Planning scenario presented in Porse (2017). Historic data, used in calibrating or populating the model. This includes data for wastewater treatment and reuse plants and LA County stormwater capture basins, along with an analysis of historical and current pumping rights in groundwater basins (see Porse et al, 2015, Geojournal). Source credits are provided in the model manual and documentation. |
Manual | Documentation on model operations, development, and workflow (Updated August 2019) |
Hydrology | Scripts and data derived from the LA County WMMS model, which provides hydrologic inputs and is used for calibrating optimization in Artes. |
Code and Scripts | - Model source code, including multiple versions used in studies for applications maximizing local sources, minimizing costs, and simulating groundwater exchange pools. Scripted in Python, the code builds the model, interacts with the solver, and manages inputs and outputs. (LASM_31Dec16.py, for example). Scripts for aggregating sub-watersheds from the WMMS hydrologic model to the sub-watershed zones used in Artes (Located in Hydrology folder). R scripts for plotting watershed and wastewater treatment plant outflows for comparing and calibrating (Plots.r) |
What's In This Repository? | The repository contains the model's manual, code, hydrology files for LA County, model input data, and GIS files |
