The National Water Model Vision

摘要

The National Water Model enables forecasting of water like weather-everywhere, at local scale, all the time. This is a remarkable achievement, tracing the movement of water from the atmosphere to the oceans and from coast to coast through the national network of streams, rivers and water bodies. National Water Model forecast information is publicly and freely available, and is updated hourly-a kind of "federal brain in the sky" that is continuously accessible no matter what time of the day or night information about water conditions and forecasts is needed in a particular location or region.
