Colorado River Hydrology Research Symposium Webinar Series. This three-part series expands on the opportunities identified in the 2020 Colorado River Basin Climate and Hydrology: State of the Science report. The series, hosted by the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and partners from the Colorado River Climate and Hydrology Work Group,  highlights the latest weather and streamflow data, tools, and research that could potentially be used to improve Colorado River water resources management.

Moderated by: Rebecca Smith, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. This webinar introduces the concept of deep uncertainty, describes how deep uncertainty creates challenges for long-term planning in the Colorado River Basin, and presents planning frameworks that address the challenges. Presentations include a review of techniques used in the 2012 Basin Study and subsequent efforts that build on those techniques.
