CalSim 3 Results for 2070 Climate Change and Sea Level Projections and Sensitivity Analysis

Stantec, Inc. (Stantec) | January 17th, 2024


This Technical Memorandum (TM) summarizes the key findings from a sensitivity analysis performed to analyze operations of the proposed Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) and potential project water supply benefits under a range of potential scenarios for 2070 conditions. These scenarios consider climate change, sea level rise (SLR), and various water management responses. In addition, this sensitivity analysis also helps to identify whether proposed project operations and potential project impacts detailed in the Final DCP Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would remain similar or differ under a different climate change and SLR scenario under 2070 conditions, a more distant future.
