Water quality is a critical element of freshwater supply, particularly in times and areas of drought, in part due to less dilution of point contaminant sources. Limited water resources can be further strained if water quality is not managed properly.While there are measures in place...

Objectives of this project are to achieve operational sustainability (> Application Readiness Level 7) for government water management agencies in South Asia (Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh) for the following:
1) Satellite (GPM/TRMM) Precipitation and Model-based seasonal forecasting of water availability (for all nations of...

The overarching goal of the project is to characterize anomalies in water supply and demand using a combination of NASA satellite observations and NASA physically based land surface models. The annual water supply-demand imbalance is ingested into existing California Department of Water Resources (CA...

This project developed a suite of satellite-based Essential Water Variables (EWVs) for improved near-real-time streamflow predictions using the ParBal surface energy balance model in the Indus River basin. The snowmelt predictions are fed into USACE's HEC-HMS model system to provide reservoir inflow hydrographs for HEC-ResSim...
