Projects

Hydrologic Forecasting
Our team developed the first national-scale operational hydrological forecasting system for the U.S. National Weather Service. The National Water Model provides real-time forecasts of snow, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, inundation, and streamflow over the contiguous U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and south-central Alaska.

Water Availability
Our team collaborated with the U.S. Geological Survey to develop estimates of water supply across the contiguous U.S. over the past 40 years. When combined with estimates of water use, this assessment highlighted areas of water surplus and deficit, and how this balance evolves over time.

Green Infrastructure
Our team worked with municipalities across Southern California to optimize green infrastructure design to maximize improvements in water quality. Combining geospatial data, stormwater modeling, engineering design databases, and statistics, our tool allowed municipalities to explore scenarios and conduct cost/benefit analyses.
