Abstract
As part of the Grand Challenges project Prepared for Environmental Change (PfEC), the research team has leveraged IU’s exceptional cyberinfrastructures and constructed computer-based models to answer the question: What does climate change mean for Indiana’s water resources? Successful preparation for the future of water resources requires us all not only to put the best sciences into our forecasts but also to change the ways that scientific results are communicated. To communicate to researchers, specialists, policy makers, and the public, we are developing a community platform. Currently its available at https://analysis.futurewater.indiana.edu/FutureWater project is modeling climate change impacts on Indiana’s water resources. Computer models of watersheds can help us understand the relationship between climate, water quantity, and water quality.
