CUAHSI's 25th Anniversary Reflections: A Challenge for Today’s Hydrologic Scientists, by Rick Hooper
Posted Jul 7, 2026
As part of CUAHSI's 25th anniversary, we're featuring a series of reflections from the people who have helped shape CUAHSI's story over the years. These pieces, written in each contributor's own words, share memories from formative moments in CUAHSI's history alongside perspectives on where the field is headed next.
Our first contributor is Rick Hooper, who served as CUAHSI's Executive Director from 2002 to 2017. In this piece, he revisits the founding question that shaped CUAHSI's creation and considers what it might mean for hydrologic science funding today.
