A new method for predicting how rainfall contributes to river flow across the entire US has been developed by an international team of scientists. The technique, which combines physics knowledge with advanced artificial intelligence (AI), aims to help decision-makers better prepare for extreme weather and climate impacts. … The model outperformed several traditional hydrologic approaches while also estimating the likelihood of a range of different river-flow events. … Their findings, published in the journal Water Resources Research, could enhance river flow prediction, water management, and climate resilience across the US and beyond.
