SEI researchers will convene a session on watershed modeling under uncertain conditions at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysicists Union (AGU), taking place December 11–15 in San Francisco, California.
The session, titled, “Addressing Uncertainty in Water Allocation Decision-Making through Watershed Modeling,” is now open to abstracts, due Aug. 2.
The conference will run in a hybrid format, welcoming in-person and virtual participants.
Water allocation decisions are made under conditions of uncertainty in water resources systems, particularly in regions facing water scarcity and increasing demand. This uncertainty can lead to suboptimal water allocation decisions, resulting in negative impacts on the environment and society. Thus, water managers need effective decision-making tools, including watershed models, that can account for uncertainty and support efficient and equitable water resources. Watershed modeling provides estimates of future water availability under different scenarios, considering factors including socio-economic projections, climate and land use changes, and water management practices.
This session welcomes contributions from researchers and practitioners on the following topics:
Abstracts are due Aug. 2.
