One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

Global water management efforts are increasingly strained by a mounting array of challenges such as flooding, infrastructure failures, water quality degradation, and imbalanced water distribution 1.

This paper presents an optimal water distribution model for canals that focuses on canal flow capacity as a foundational premise. The model aims to optimize the flow rate and timing of irrigation to ...

When severe weather strikes, the National Weather Service's (NWS) Office of Water Prediction (OWP) makes critical flood forecasts with the National Water Model. Despite improvements over time, the ...
