Updates snow forecasts to help communities better manage water supplies.
This bill updates the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program. It sets aside $6.5 million each year from 2027 to 2031. The program will use new technologies to make snow and water forecasts more accurate. This helps water managers and communities plan for water use across different regions and states.
Today, the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program is authorized to receive $15 million in total from 2022 to 2026, focusing on snowpack measurement with specific reporting rules. If this bill passes, the program would be reauthorized with $6.5 million set aside each year from 2027 to 2031. It would shift its focus to integrated modeling and new technologies like machine learning, aiming to provide more accurate water supply forecasts, especially for multi-state water management. The bill would also update its reporting requirements.
