HydroLearn is an educational project initially funded by the NSF that offers free, customizable active-learning resources in hydrology and water resources engineering. CUAHSI gathered feedback from several HydroLearn Fellows, who highlighted how the platform is reshaping water science education through discovery, collaboration, and innovation.

CUAHSI and the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University have collaborated to develop a web application that improves access to NOAA’s National Water Model (NWM) predictions, for water decision-makers and community resilience planners. FloodSavvy is a web-based interface that translates complex NWM data into simplified, actionable flood risk insights for community users. It renders forecasted and historically forecasted outputs, and pre-computed inundation maps in simple, intuitive formats. This post highlights the capabilities of this tool as well as the co-development process that was used to gather and assess community needs.
