This groundwater-dependent region is undergoing a dramatic reorganization of&amp;nbsp;groundwater management&amp;nbsp;under California’s 2014&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Sustainable Groundwater Management&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Act (SGMA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="abs0015"&gt;&lt;h3 id="sect0015" class="u-h4 u-margin-m-top u-margin-xs-bottom"&gt;Study Focus&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p id="sp0055"&gt;Understanding land-use and land-cover change supports long-term sustainable water management. Anthropogenic water demand has depleted groundwater&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;aquifers&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;worldwide, while future&amp;nbsp;water shortages&amp;nbsp;will likely affect land-use change, creating system feedbacks. Our novel participatory approach fused changes in land-use and associated water use from county-scale data to local water agencies’ estimates of total sustainable supply, scaling up local hydro-geologic knowledge from heterogeneous aquifers and diverse management approaches to a regional level. We assessed five stakeholder-driven scenarios with the same historic rates of urban and agricultural land-use change, but different water and land-use management, analyzing how management strategies altered both the spatial pattern of development and subsequent water&amp;nbsp;sustainability&amp;nbsp;from 2001 to 2061.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="abs0020"&gt;&lt;h3 id="sect0020" class="u-h4 u-margin-m-top u-margin-xs-bottom"&gt;New Hydrological Insights for the Region&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p id="sp0060"&gt;Transformative strategies using demand-side interventions that coupled water availability to land-use more effectively achieved long-term sustainability than adaptive strategies using supply-side interventions to increase water supplies. Limiting water withdrawals within SGMA regulated basins resulted in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;leakage&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;of development into unregulated basins, increasing groundwater pumping there. Protecting ecosystems, farmlands, and recharge areas from development reduced leakage into undeveloped basins without negatively affecting water sustainability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
