The 16th annual Oregon-Washington Water Year Meeting: 2021 Recap and 2022 Outlook will be held as two virtual morning meetings. The goal of this meeting is to share and gather information regarding climate impacts of the 2021 water year, with a focus on the exceptional drought that was so widespread across the region. This meeting will also offer the opportunity to learn from others about mitigation actions that were taken. Both days will include time for discussion and peer-to-peer learning, in addition to hearing from the forecast experts.

The Coastal Salinity Index (CSI) is a long-term monitoring tool developed in 2017 through a partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS). The CSI helps users characterize and assess fluctuating salinity conditions in coastal areas due to events such as drought and floods. This webinar described the motivation for and development of the CSI, the updated CSI website, applications of the CSI to existing field investigations, and future CSI plans, including a potential expansion to the West Coast. This webinar was hosted by NIDIS and USGS.
