The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $649,832 Cooperative Agreement under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) to Research Triangle Institute (RTI International), a non-profit research organization. The funding supports a pilot program to evaluate and apply distributed modeling coupled with enhanced snow products at two operational River Forecast Centers. The project aims to take advantage of advancements in distributed modeling and modeling frameworks to improve water resource management and forecasting capabilities. The performance period for this award extends from March 22, 2024 to March 31, 2026.

Under this agreement, the recipient aims to take advantage of advances in the field of distributed modeling and modeling frameworks to put them into practice in a pilot program at two operational river forecast centers (rfcs): colorado basin river forecast center (cbrfc) and california nevada river forecast center (cnrfc). The project will evaluate and apply distributed modeling coupled with enhanced snow products developed in other accompanying projects.
