New paired studies from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities show that machine learning can improve the prediction of floods. The studies, published in Water Resources Research and the Proceedings ...

For years, the Prairie Pothole Region has bothered me in a very specific way. On a map, it looks like a normal landscape: fields, gentle slopes, small streams. But hydrologically, it behaves like ...

When severe weather strikes, the National Weather Service's (NWS) Office of Water Prediction (OWP) makes critical flood forecasts with the National Water Model. Despite improvements over time, the ...

ABSTRACT: This study investigates seasonal and spatial variability in hydrological and drought-related responses across watersheds in the Great Lakes region, focusing on streamflow, baseflow, and the ...

Predicting floods, specifically in mountainous terrain, has long been a major challenge. Now, University of Vermont (UVM) scientists have demonstrated how artificial intelligence can significantly ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — The Knoxville City Council on Tuesday gave the go-ahead for three major engineering projects, including a high-tech project to improve traffic flow along a busy roadway.

Performance of the standard way of upscaling stream directions (D8) and the new scheme (SCC) as measured from 187 stream gauges in the Rhine basin. The left figure shows the frequency distributions of ...

Hydrologists show most streamflow out of the West's mountains is old snowmelt on a multi-year underground journey. New study finds that spring runoff is on average 5 years old. Growing communities and ...

Operational application of research knowledge is critical for decision-making when it comes to flooding and water resources, but to get there, researchers must build bridges with government agencies ...

Every day, the United States’ extensive water supply system faces pressure to deliver safe water. Now, University of Vermont (UVM) scientists have invented a new tool using AI to help communities ...
