use than ever before, while keeping
features that worked in the older
models.
NRCS's hope is that M4 will help
farmers, ranchers and foresters
better plan for their operations
and continue to have the means
to provide for people in the U.S.
and around the world who depend
on American agriculture. Given
how many other water users
and government agencies also
rely on NRCS forecasts, it will be
interesting see how the migration
of AI into real-world, high-stakes
environmental information
systems like M4 will help
everyone in the American West
use increasingly pressured water
resources more effectively while
protecting our shared natural
environment.
To read more about this new
system, see the recent paper
published in the Journal of
Hydrology, the top-ranked, peer-
reviewed scientific journal in water
resources.
