Groundwater Accounting Platform(Platform) announced the release of its source code in a new public repository, named the Qanat Project, on GitHub. Although the Platform’s source code has always been available upon request, creating a community repository now streamlines access, inviting broader collaboration and innovation to tackle California’s water management challenges. The code is now open to software developers, consultants, academics, and agencies who can help customize and expand the Platform’s use in complying with California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The Platform also integrates with the open-source Groundwater Evaluation Toolbox to provide scenario planning and forecasting modules.
