Five Year Water Shortage Outlook

This table provides anticipated annual potable water levels (both surplus and shortage) with shortage actions and without shortage actions for five years based on the five driest consecutive years on record. The Urban Water Management Plans (UWMP) reports this data. All data reported through the UWMP are currently available on the WUE portal (https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/wsda_export) and the California Natural Resources Open Data Portal (https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/2020-uwmp-data-export-tables). The most recent UWMP guidance is available here: https://water.ca.gov/-/media/DWR-Website/Web-Pages/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Use-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Management-Plans/Final-2020-UWMP-Guidebook/UWMP-Guidebook-2020---Final-032921.pdf. See 7-20 through 7-34 for information about the data elements contained in the five_year_outlook table. *Data use limitations*: Similar to the monthly_water_shortage_outlook data, these data also reflect forecasted values rather than actual values. These data are expected to change as conditions change.
