Water is one of our most precious resources with incomparable destructive forces, whether they be droughts or floods. Understanding what water will do in this changing climate allows for protection of human life and property; but how can we know what water will do tomorrow if the data from the past can no longer help us? To better serve current societal needs, there has been an evolution of hydrologic models that allow scientists all over the world to more accurately predict water’s unpredictable behavior.
