Service Description: This dataset represents a water shortage social vulnerability analysis performed by DWR using Census 2021 block groups as the unit of analysis. This feature class includes water shortage social vulnerability indicators and scores from an analysis done by CA Department of Water Resources, joined to the 2021 Census Block Groups. Most of the indicators were pulled from the ACS (American Communities Survey). These indicators were joined to the block groups to represent a spatial analysis of the social vulnerability of communities to water shortages. The goal of this data is to provide a spatial representation of social and economic factors that can affect water shortage vulnerability in the state of California. Model indicators included in the attribute table are percent of the population 65 and older, percent of households with no vehicles, percent of population 25 and older without a high school diploma. Please note that all of these model indicators are estimated values pulled from the ACS (American Communities Survey). All model indicators are added together using sum-rank methods outlined in the Drought and Water Shortage Risk Scoring: California's Domestic Wells and State Smalls Systems document and CDC standards for sum-rank methods. This data is for the 2024 analysis using 2017-2021 ACS estimates and 2021 Census block groups. From the draft Drought and Water Shortage Vulnerability Scoring document: “Water Code Division 6 Part 2.55 Section 8 Chapter 10 (Assembly Bill 1668) effectively requires California Department of Water Resources (DWR), in consultation with other agencies and an advisory group, to identify small water suppliers and “rural communities” that are at risk of drought and water shortage. Following legislation passed in 2021 and signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the Water Code Division 6, Section 10609.50 through 10609.80 (Senate Bill 552 of 2021) effectively requires the California Department of Water Resources to update the scoring and tool periodically in partnership with the State Water Board and other state agencies. This document describes the indicators, datasets, and methods used to construct this deliverable. " A spatial analysis was performed on the 2021 Census Block Groups, modified PLSS sections, and small water system service areas using a variety of input datasets related to drought vulnerability and water shortage risk. These indicator values were subsequently rescaled and summed for a final physical vulnerability score for the sections and small water system service areas. The 2021 Census Block Groups were joined with ACS data to represent the social vulnerability of communities, which is relevant to drought risk tolerance and resources. The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.4, dated September 14, 2022. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees — either expressed or implied— as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data. Comments, problems, improvements, updates, or suggestions should be forwarded to gis@water.ca.gov.
