New methods for detecting snow in Arizona for water supply

Congratulations to the team from the Center for Hydrologic Innovations that was recently featured by the Arizona Water Innovation Initiative! Postdoctoral scholar Zhaocheng Wang described the effort as: “Planet imagery is useful for the type of dryland hydrology we have in Arizona. We trained a machine learning model called a convolutional neural network that can…

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!

Center efforts with Planet featured in Arizona Water Innovation Initiative

The Arizona Water Innovation Initiative (AWII) featured our efforts with the satellite imaging company Planet with respect to water supply and demand estimates in Arizona. See blog at the link below
