ASU Flow 2024
The Arizona Hydrological Society, Phoenix Chapter, and ASU’s Center for Hydrologic Innovations have partnered to bring the water community together to celebrate the start of the new water year. This annual event, held at the Salt River Project’s PERA Club this year, is an exciting opportunity for students and researchers to engage with practitioners from the private sector, government…

Scaling Water Resilience and Stewardship
Forests and grasslands play a significant role in providing freshwater for ecosystems and regional economies. However, these ecosystems are at risk of elevated levels of drought, wildfire and land degradation. Under increasing water risks, private sector investors need methods to quantify and verify water related benefits to report on corporate water goals. Practitioners need to…

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
The Center for Hydrologic Innovations celebrated World Water Week 2024 with two events: (1) A joint seminar with the Arizona Hydrological Society, Phoenix Chapter with Prof. Jay Famiglietti on March 20, 2024, who spoke on “How Climate Change and Human Activities are Shaping Global Freshwater Availability”, and (2) The ASU Water Institute launch event on March…

WRR Publication
A new publication in Water Resources Research (Wiechman et al., 2024) present a modeling approach to trace the flow of water, information, and investment in a general urban water system and apply it for three cities in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Congratulations to authors associated with the Center for Hydrologic Innovations!

Center article selected as Editor’s Choice
