Problem the AI is intended to solve

Utilize historical datasets of air temperature, precipitation, discharge, and water surface elevation to train a deep learning model to predict discharge and water surface elevation across the Upper Mississippi River System.

Expected benefits

This model will be useful for filling gaps in the hydrologic record and understanding how changes in temperature and precipitation influence hydrology across the system.

System outputs

predictions of discharge and water surface elevation
