Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program Reauthorization Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator John Hickenlooper
In Committee
Summary
Modernize and sustain snowpack measurement and water forecasting by shifting the program toward deploying integrated measurement and modeling technologies and supporting multi‑basin, multi‑State water decisions.
Show full summary
- Water managers and reservoir operators would get faster, more accurate snowpack and runoff forecasts through new tools like imaging spectroscopy, machine learning, and integrated snowpack‑to‑hydrologic models.
- River basins that span water users or States would be prioritized for work that informs multi‑water‑user and interstate decisions, and partners would get help building capacity to use the new forecasts.
- Federal partners and researchers would be drawn in explicitly, with the Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration named in the technology framework, and the program renamed and reframed to support ongoing technology deployment and basin‑scale modeling.
*Would authorize $6.5 million per year for each fiscal year 2027 through 2031, replacing the prior $15 million aggregate cap and increasing authorized federal funding over that prior limit.*

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Improved snowpack measurement and forecasts
If enacted, the bill would broaden the snow water forecasting program to focus on ongoing measurement and integrated modeling. It would name USDA and NOAA and list technologies like imaging spectroscopy, machine learning, and integrated snowpack and hydrologic modeling. The program would shift away from a single final report and require listing basins that use the technologies and an assessment of which tools best inform multi-district or multi-State water forecasts. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
More funding for snow forecasting
If enacted, the bill would authorize $6,500,000 for each fiscal year 2027 through 2031 for the snow water forecasting program. This replaces the prior $15,000,000 aggregate authorization for fiscal years 2022–2026. The money would fund the program's grants and activities starting upon enactment.
