                                       Water rights data are a particularly important ingredient for understanding and
                                 improving our water system. But they are currently difficult or impossible to use for
                                       many kinds of decision making, because California still relies largely on paper
                              records. California's existing Electronic Water Rights Information System (eWRIMS) is
                                   incompletely populated and lacks the functionality and interoperability with other
                                platforms. Because of this and other shortcomings, stakeholders and State agencies
                                     have trouble understanding how much water is available at particular places and
                                times--information that is central to basic water allocation decisions and to planning
                                                           for changes in future water availability (Kiparsky et al 2021).
