COURSE NO: C01-032
PDH CREDIT: 1
Water Supply Forecasting
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of water supply forecasting, a critical component of water management in areas that depend on seasonal runoff from snowmelt.

 

This course describes the forecasting process, including the use of statistical and simulation models to predict streamflow, and the various products and tools available to water managers to assist in making informed decisions.

 

In addition, this course discusses the importance of accuracy in forecasting and the tools available to evaluate forecast accuracy. Furthermore, it describes the Reservoir Operation Guide and the Surface Water Supply Index as additional tools for water management.

 

This 1 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers as well as other professionals interested in learning more about Water Supply Forecasting.
