Show full summary
- Water managers and river basins: Focuses work on activities that improve forecasting that respond to changing weather and watershed conditions and on real-time integration of measurements with water forecasts. It targets river basins where data can inform water management decisions, including interstate management.
- Federal agencies and partners: Expands federal participation by adding the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Natural Resources Conservation Service and emphasizes building partners' capacity to use new measurement and forecast capabilities.
- Technology and program changes: Defines integrated technologies to include airborne laser altimetry, imaging spectroscopy, and physics-based snowpack and hydrologic modeling, removes a prior report requirement, and shifts funding to an annual authorization.
*Authorizes $3.0 million per year for FY2027–2031, totaling $15.0 million across that period.*
