A University of Arizona researcher has led a national science foundation project that integrated AI to simulate the nation’s groundwater supply to forecast droughts and floods.

This website has been in development for three years and has now been launched. It is important to our climate here in Southern Arizona since groundwater is essential to make this area livable.

Dr. Laura Condon has been studying the behavior of groundwater and droughts for years and has released a website that can project groundwater changes over decades.

“With the machine learning emulator, we can now generate groundwater forecasts and groundwater simulations across the U.S. on demand.”

Groundwater is not only a way that cities get their water but also a way farmers in rural areas get their water.

With our climate getting warmer, groundwater will be impacted regardless of how much rain we receive over these next few decades.

“As things get hotter and drier one really big thing that […]
