NOAA/NIDIS
When
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) are holding a series of listening sessions to gain input on priorities and needs related to predicting water availability changes under drought conditions at national and regional scales.
We invite water managers, natural resource managers, drought decision makers, and all others interested in water availability and hydrological drought impacts to join us for the first episode coming up Feb 9 at 11am MST.
This webinar will introduce the upcoming end user listening sessions and provide a short overview of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Drought Program and efforts to characterize hydrological (e.g., streamflow and groundwater) drought variability, drivers, and trends over the past century.
Featured Presentations:
- Introduction to End User Listening Session Series Joel Lisonbee | NOAA/NIDIS
- U.S. Geological Survey Drought Program Brian Clark | USGS Water Availability and Use Science Program
- U.S. Geological Survey Hydrological Drought Prediction Projects John Hammond | USGS Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Water Science Center
