Problem the AI is intended to solve
predictions of reliable surface flow in streams at regional scales to inform land and water resource decisions related to water availability.
Expected benefits
more accurate estimates of water availability for more efficient use of field verification efforts, expected increased success of restoration or species conservations projects.
System outputs
prediction of the annual probability of a stream reach having year round surface flow.
