Water Resources Modeling

Building and deploying robust models for reliable water forecasts and decisions

At the core of every forecast decision support system are the models that drive reliable water forecasts. We specialize in developing, calibrating, and implementing hydrologic, hydraulic, and reservoir models that support real-time water management operations. 

We bring expertise in physical, conceptual, and AI-hybrid modeling, working closely with clients to determine the right approach for their unique needs. Whether forecasts are used for day-to-day operations or long-range planning, solutions are tailored based on the watershed’s hydrologic characteristics, the desired look-ahead horizon, the level of desired operator-model interaction, and the detail required for decision-making. 

Primary modeling platforms and approaches: NWS modeling suite (SNOW-17, SAC-SMA, LagK, CONS_USE), UBC, Raven, MARRMoT, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, LSTM, other AI.

Our teams are skilled with multiple reservoir modeling platforms, providing clients the flexibility to choose the tools best suited for their operational objectives. We work closely with clients to understand their unique decision-making processes and ensure that models accurately represent policies and operational priorities. Our solutions are designed to be intuitive and interpretable, enabling operators to evaluate tradeoffs, explore scenarios, and make informed, real-time decisions with confidence.

Modeling platforms and approaches: RiverWare, MODSIM, RES-J, RTC Tools, SDDP.
