“We had a great opportunity to develop the product in tandem with active water resource planners. We wanted the service to be a flexible as possible – allowing full user definition over the weather and hydrology parameters that the Forecaster produces. Ultimately we want it to solve barriers, pain points, or time constraints that stop water companies from getting maximum value from the breadth of seasonal weather prediction data that is available.” -said Dr. Craig Wallace, ESD Lead Scientist and co-developer of the product.
