  1. NOAA/NWS Water Supply Web Page Jay P. Breidenbach Sr. Hydrologist NOAA /National Weather Service Boise, Idaho

  2. NOAA/NWS Water Supply Web Page • New design will be ready in December • New interactive forecast and research tools • Partnerships and feedback

  3. Long Range Seasonal River Volume Forecasts • Statistical Water Supply • Regression techniques • 168 forecast locations • Coordinated forecasts with NRCS • Ensemble Stream Flow Prediction (ESP) • Uses very long runs of NWS River Forecast System (NWSRFS) • Future Temperature and Precipitation is unknown beyond ~ 10 days • Assume that what happened in the past represents the range of what could happen in the future on any given year and use historical temperature and precipitation observations as future input into hydrology model. • Generate output in probabilistic format
