National Water Model
Publicly Accessible
Description
Developer/Partners: NOAA (2022)
Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): Flood and Drought
Intent: A hydrologic modeling framework that simulates observed and forecasts future streamflow
The NWM simulates the water cycle with mathematical representations to estimate stream flow, evaporation, soil saturation, etc.
Data Parameters
Inputs: Stream / River / Area of Interest
Outputs: Short-, medium-, long-range flow forecast
Caveats
Use with Streamflow Prediction Tool (SPT)
