Operational River Flow and Water Supply Forecasting

The Canadian Society for Hydrological Sciences (CSHS) hosted a 2 day workshop on operational river flow and water supply forecasting. The workshop was intended to promote and facilitate communication, heighten awareness of the breadth of forecasting methods, illuminate their effects on forecast performance, and explore the operational practicability of the technologies.
