This paper discusses a database built from long‐term (50+ years) data on urban water production in California, home to one of every eight residents in the United States. It allows analysis of trends in urban water production and evaluation of climate, water supply availability, pricing, or socioeconomic effects on water production. Researchers can also use the data to evaluate reasons for differences in per‐capita water production among neighboring water systems or to evaluate the effects of hydrologic conditions such as droughts that transcend a single geographic region.
