Drought Prediction: A Focus on Streamflow - End User Listening Session
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) are holding a series of listening sessions on Drought Prediction and Water Availability to seek input on priorities and needs related to predicting water availability changes under drought conditions at national and regional scales. This input will be used to guide USGS Drought Program planning and orientation, as well as to inform other national drought programs.
This first listening session, focused on streamflow, was held on March 3, 2022, and included a short introduction to streamflow drought prediction products, followed by guided discussions with participants on research priorities for product development or improvement at the national or regional scale.
For more information, see the final USGS-NIDIS report on this series: Drought Prediction and Water Availability: A Report on the 2022 USGS-NIDIS National Listening Session Series.
