Topic: The National Water Model

The National Water Model (NWM) is a hydrologic modelling framework that simulates observed and forecast streamflow over the entire continental United States (CONUS). The NWM simulates the water cycle with mathematical representations of the different processes and how they fit together. This complex representation of physical processes such as snowmelt and infiltration and movement of water through the soil layers varies significantly with changing elevations, soils, vegetation types and a host of other variables. Additionally, extreme variability in precipitation over short distances and times can cause the response on rivers and streams to change very quickly.

The NWM produces hydrologic guidance at a very fine spatial and temporal scale. It complements official NWS river forecasts at approximately 4000 locations across the CONUS and produces guidance at millions of other locations that do not have a traditional river forecast.

Presenters:
-Alan Lulloff, PE, CFM - ASFPM Flood Science Center
-Brian Cosgrove, National Water Model Technical Director, NOAA
-Dave Guignet, Maryland NFIP Coordinator
