Integrated Hydro-Terrestrial Modeling 2.0: Progress and Path Forward on Building a National Capability

Summary

The United States faces a significant challenge in the 21st century regarding freshwater resource availability and quality, exacerbated by human activities and environmental changes. The Integrated Hydro-Terrestrial Modeling (IHTM) national capability aims to address this by holistically understanding, quantifying, and managing water supply through hydrological processes. This report, following the IHTM 2.0 workshop held in late 2023, documents discussions and outlines a roadmap for collaboration among federal agencies and academia over the next three years to advance these capabilities, supporting informed decision-making for water resource management.
