This study introduces the California Food-Energy-Water System (CALFEWS) simulation model to describe the integrated, multi-sector dynamics that emerge from the coordinated management of surface and groundwater supplies throughout California's Central Valley. The CALFEWS simulation framework links the operation of state-wide, interbasin transfer projects (i.e., State Water Project, Central Valley Project) with coordinated water management strategies abstracted to the scale of irrigation/water districts. This study contributes a historic baseline (October 1996–September 2016) evaluation of the model's performance against observations, including reservoir storage, inter-basin transfers, environmental endpoints, and groundwater banking accounts. State-aware, rules-based representations of critical component systems enable CALFEWS to simulate adaptive management responses to alternative climate, infrastructure, and regulatory scenarios. Moreover, CALFEWS has been designed to maintain interoperability with electric power dispatch and agricultural production models. As such, CALFEWS provides a platform to evaluate internally consistent scenarios for the integrated management of water supply, energy generation, and food production.

这项研究介绍了加利福尼亚食品，能源，水系统（CALFEWS）模拟模型，该模型描述了整个加利福尼亚中央山谷地表水和地下水供应的协调管理所产生的综合的，多部门的动力。CALFEWS模拟框架将全州跨流域调水项目（即州水项目，中央河谷项目）的运行与抽象化为灌溉/水区规模的协调水管理策略联系起来。这项研究为该模型的性能评估提供了历史性的基线（1996年10月至2016年9月），其中包括水库存储，流域间转移，环境终点和地下水库账户。状态感知 关键组件系统的基于规则的表示形式使CALFEWS能够模拟对替代气候，基础设施和监管方案的适应性管理响应。此外，CALFEWS旨在保持与电力调度和农业生产模型的互操作性。因此，CALFEWS提供了一个平台来评估内部一致的方案，以进行供水，能源生产和食品生产的综合管理。
