    5. NOAA’s integrated services enable the balanced use of our finite water resources. From observations providing data for our community modeling, forecasting and product delivery activities, to our ecosystem based management practices, NOAA services and information contribute to multiple water resource benefits. Everything is connected through the integration of NOAA’s services and our community partnership with other federal and non-federal entities: Satellites, Fisheries, Meteorology, Hydrology, Hydropower, and Navigation. The Columbia River Basin provides an example of the balanced use of our finite water resources. Through integrated services, short- to long-term water resource and ecosystem management practices benefit: Fisheries, Power generation, and Navigation.NOAA’s integrated services enable the balanced use of our finite water resources.

    6. Community-based Partnership for Water Forecasting Develop and Implement a Community Hydrologic Prediction System to Leverage Partner Capabilities Objectives: Common understanding and improved communications Link and leverage research and development of other federal and non-federal organizations Deliver well-applied technology for a higher degree of real-time interagency collaboration Demonstrate the enhanced productivity of a One Government approach Collaboration yields cost-effective outcomes: Increased public safety Enhanced levels of flood protection Better water management

    7. 7 Satellite and Environmental Data Water surface conditions Land cover/land use Climate variability and change Oceans Water and biological monitoring Estuarine models Research Earth system models Environmental observing systems Great Lakes inflows, water levels, and water quality Fisheries Ecological and socio-economic assessments Habitat conservation and restoration Weather Weather, water, and climate monitoring and prediction Forecasting infrastructure and service delivery Hurricane storm surge forecasts

Katrina was the most destructive natural disaster in American history, destroying 90,000 square miles of land and resulting in more than 1,500 fatalities (source: Hurricane Katrina: A Nation Still Unprepared, Report of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, May 2006 - http://hsgac.senate.gov/_files/Katrina/FullReport.pdf ) 2) Support for hydrology program goals which are to: Minimize losses due to floods and droughts Increase economic benefits from water forecasts and information Improve ecosystem management and enhance America’s coastal assets Expand information for managing America’s Water Resources AHPS building off of investment in the Modernization Chips is similar to work done in WRF.
