Page 3 of 7 i ___ Minutes of 02-18-2025 A new draft tech memo has been created for the model grid and in support of model development. That tech memo and all the tech memos have been and continue to be on the District's webpage with peer review and feedback encouraged. Belding Farms Data processed 5600 data points from 1957 to 2023. TWDB had over 47,000 water levels from 1940 to 2024. EcoKai transducer data from FSH joint study had over 500,000 data points for 2021-2024. LRE and the Halff data management system had 15,000 groundwater data points. While calibrating the database we realized all the data from numerous studies have not been added to the database. Several discrepancies were recognized on some of the Belding Farms’ wells for elevations compared to the model grid.

We have begun working on groundwater evapotranspiration, model run specifications, Model calibration datasets, model calibration, groundwater budget, and model sensitivity.
