Abstract The National Weather Service (NWS) Office of Water Prediction (OWP), in conjunction with the Center for Atmospheric Research and NWS Centers Environmental (NCEP) implemented version 2.1 Model (NWM) into operations April 2021. As initial 2016, NWM v2.1 is an hourly cycling analysis forecast system that provides streamflow guidance millions river reaches other hydrologic information on high‐resolution grids. complementary at current locations significantly expands coverage water...
Abstract The majority of households in high‐income countries have access to safely managed drinking water, but a significant number do not trust or use their tap water. Much remains unknown about the perceptions and behaviors millions people who opt drink water that meets national guidelines. Given avoidance is associated with myriad adversities bottled generates enormous amounts waste, information drivers critical. Therefore, we investigated 2020–21 Evanston, Illinois, mid‐size city on Lake...
While the impacts of soil moisture on microbiome diversity and composition are well characterized, influence hydrological regime has been overlooked. As precipitation patterns altered by climate change, understanding impact hydrology community structure function is critical. In this work, water level was continuously monitored for over a year in Midwestern prairie-wetland at 10 cm depth increments up to 120 locations. We analyzed edaphic factors cores collected from unique spatially...
Urbanization and the increase in urban land cover are growing concerns associated with numerous negative impacts on surface water quality. Currently, many emerging contaminants difficult to measure no field deployable sensors currently available. Hence, discrete grab samples required for subsequent laboratory analysis. To capture spatiotemporal variability pollution pulses, autosamplers can be used, but commercial offerings both expensive have a large footprint. This problematic environments...
Inland freshwater wetlands throughout the northern U.S. and Canada are experiencing an increase in salinity due to road salt runoff during winter months. Salinization affects soil texture, contaminant transport, microbial activity, plant growth wetlands. Therefore, there is a pressing need understand dynamics of intrusion urbanized ecosystems. We used distributed high-resolution sensors evaluate into wetland complex, Gensburg Markham Prairie (GMP), located ex-urban area outside Chicago,...
Simultaneous pressures of climate change and increasing populations in urban areas have resulted new stresses on stormwater infrastructure. Altered precipitation patterns require robust versatile management strategies for stormwater, resulting increased consideration greenspace as infrastructure communities with significant flood risk. There is particular interest natural, minimally-engineered green (GI). Such greenspaces can be heterogeneous difficult to characterize but are often...
