Mountain Snow Forecasting Tool Aims to Refine Water Availability Predictions

Washington State University’s new snow-water forecast tool unveiled

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University (WSU) researchers have developed a new forecasting tool that estimates snow-water equivalent, which helps predict annual water supply. The research team, from the biological systems and electrical engineering departments, presented at a conference in Singapore, claiming their tool outperforms existing forecasting methods in about 90% of locations for daily

PULLMAN, WA – A new tool developed by Washington State University researchers could someday provide daily or weekly forecasts of water availability in the mountains similar to a weather forecast that agencies could use for important water management decisions. The researchers recently presented their forecast tool for snow-water equivalent, which predicts potential water availability, at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intellig…
