Abstract

Efforts to achieve groundwater sustainability in California's San Joaquin Valley will entail substantial pumping reductions, and much irrigated cropland may become newly fallowed. Winter crops grown under water-limited conditions could offer an alternative to fallowing, but their viability may be limited by variable rainfall and high crop failure rates.
