How
will global change affect water resources and water supply, energy
resources, and agriculture? Hydrology
Futures, LLC specializes in the hydrologic impacts of climate change
and
land cover and use change. We apply state of the art
hydrologic models and data analysis to advise
water utilities, hydropower companies, water districts, flood
protection districts, agriculture agents, city governments, native
tribes, insurance companies, and others, who need to prepare
for a rapidly changing global environment.
Examples
from recent projects:
