Advancements in Watershed Modeling to Support Water Management
Advancements in Watershed Modeling to Support Water Management
Session ID#: 156763
Session Description:
Effective management of water resources requires watershed models that generate accurate and timely predictions to improve understanding of a broad range of environmental and societal water issues across spatial and temporal scales. Continued and evolving advances in watershed modeling are needed to address concerns related to water supply (quantity and quality) to provide timely information to scientists, managers, and policy makers aiming to understand and secure water for human use and ecosystem function. This session seeks interdisciplinary discussion of modeling developments and their applications to solve water management related problems. We invite contributions focused on innovations in the development of new, or improvements to existing, hydrologic or water-quality models (e.g., representation of water demand and consumption, incorporation of lag times, dealing with impacts of climate and land use changes) and/or novel uses of hydrologic or water-quality models to support water management and communication.
