  • Data Availability statement: The San Joaquin Valley groundwater well dataset produced for this research is available at osf.io/uxhze/. Land transaction data cannot be made publicly available upon publication because they contain sensitive personal information. Transaction data suitably anonymized with identifiers and addresses removed are available upon reasonable request pursuant to the terms of our data use agreement; however, the study cannot be fully reproduced without the names, addresses, and identifiers, although data reproduction would be possible by manually compiling a similar dataset from publicly available county-level offices. Parcel data used for this research cannot be made publicly available upon publication because they are owned by a third party and the terms of use prevent public distribution. Information about data access is available at www.zillow.com/ztrax and www.digmap.com/platform/smartparcels/. All other datasets used in this study are publicly available from the references indicated.
