Existing products include a “current situation” simulation of 2010 conditions to use as a baseline for exploring future developments and a representation of U.S. surface water and groundwater resources given optimized allocation across sectors.  These are merely a starting point for the possibilities of exploration with AWASH.  Our hope is that this tool will enable researchers across the country to push the frontiers of integrated water resource modeling.
