2018 Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series presenter Professor David R. Maidment 

In this lecture, Maidment discusses how the National Weather Service has made operational a National Water Model that forecasts water flow in streams and rivers like weather – in real-time and local scale throughout the continental United States.  The model is managed from a new National Water Center located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where a Summer Institute is held each year for graduate students to participate in research projects to improve its performance.
