Colorado River

Frontiers in Water Publication

A new publication in Frontiers in Water (Lawless et al., 2024) examines how water management strategies have evolved in the Colorado River basin by incorporating institutional, temporal, and network structure analysis methods over the period of 1922 to 2022. Congratulations to authors associated with the Center for Hydrologic Innovations! Abstract: The 1922 Colorado River Compact…

WRR Publication

A new publication in Water Resources Research (Longyang and Zeng, 2024) develops a deep learning surrogate of a hydrologic model applied to the Upper Colorado River to investigate the role of vegetation variability in modifying the watershed behavior. Congratulations to authors associated with the Center for Hydrologic Innovations!

WRR Publication

A new publication in Water Resources Research (Wang et al., 2024) explores the sensitivity of the precipitation partitioning method on the future projects of snowpack conditions and streamflow in the Colorado River basin, with implications for other modeling activities in cold season dominated watersheds. Congratulations to authors associated with the Center for Hydrologic Innovations!

World Water Week at CHI
