Coping with Drought in California's Russian River Watershed

The combination of flood risk with sustained drought conditions represents a major challenge to water managers, agriculture, endangered species, and tourism in California's Russian River Watershed, and there are worries that such extremes will become more common. This project engages the lead water management agency in the region (SCWA), the Russian River NIDIS Pilot Activity group, and a team of scientific experts to provide advances in understanding drought that will meet stakeholder needs for drought preparedness and risk reduction.
