The New Jersey Water Transfer Data Model (NJWaTr) is a database system that compiles, stores, and distributes New Jersey\u2019s water use data for research and modeling purposes.  NJWaTr helps officials understand the movement and uses of water throughout the State over time."

Having observed data, even for a limited number of sites, would improve data managers confidence in the accuracy of the estimates and bring private, well withdrawal estimates closer in accuracy to the metered data available for other uses. To that end, the NJWSC has installed meters at 17 private, domestic wells distributed across NJ\u2019s physiographic provinces."

Forecasts can be based on historic inflows or climate-driven weather and hydrologic forecasts. The objectives of the RiverWare\u00ae model linked with hindcasted and/or forecasted streamflow input task are to research the veracity of streamflow and water availability information from national models integrated with a local scale RiverWare\u00ae model, to develop a method of automated daily data aggregation for analysis, to evaluate national model inputs versus actual measured values, and to evaluate the effects of reservoirs on national model values.  The national models to be evaluated are the National Water Model (NWS) from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Hydrologic Model (NHM) from the USGS."

     "text": "Public-supply water use represents more than 75% of New Jersey\u2019s annual average total water use and, in some regions, it can be as high 94%. In summer months, public supply withdrawals can increase 20% to 30% over winter averages. These large percentages indicate the importance of having accurate and reliable public-supply water-use data. Improved data would increase New Jersey\u2019s ability to manage its limited resources and balance the competing needs for the state\u2019s freshwater resources, especially during summer months when infrastructure, environmental, and ecologic limitations typically occur.  To that end, this project is investigating potential methods specific to New Jersey\u2019s public-supply water use that could be used to estimate daily water use based upon reported historic monthly data."
