Fastpath

Identifying Permeable Pathways for Managed Aquifer Recharge

Fastpath is an advanced, web-based tool that revolutionizes groundwater recharge assessment. It integrates state-of-the-art geophysical imaging with real-time data and interactive 2D mapping for dynamic filtering and multi-layered analysis. These features enable precise identification of high-permeability zones, enhancing water management decisions.

Launch Tool

The "pyfao56" Package for Python

Codifying FAO-56 Evapotranspiration in a Modern Programming Language

The pyfao56 Python package facilitates FAO-56 computations of daily soil water balance using the dual crop coefficient method to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ET).

Launch Package

Yield and Profitability under Salinity

Predict agricultural yield and profitability under saline conditions

This decision support tool helps policymakers and GSA managers identify areas unsuitable for sustainable and profitable agriculture and prioritize them for multi-benefit land repurposing to reduce agricultural water demand.

Launch Model

Water Wizards

Curriculum for Youth Water Science Education

Water Wizards engages 4th-6th graders through interactive experiments and community projects exploring water cycles, watershed dynamics, and water quality. The curriculum combines salinity/density labs, home usage audits, and actionable community projects to teach scientific fundamentals while demonstrating real-world impacts. Students are empowered to know they can make a difference in their communities.

Flux Gap Filling Tool

A tool for filling missing flux data

A web-based tool that uses either Marginal Distribution Sampling (MDS) or Machine Learning (Random Forest) methods to fill missing values in flux measurements like evapotranspiration (ET), sensible heat (H), and latent heat (LE) using environmental variables.
