Modern hydrology models like the NASA Land Information System (LIS) integrate satellite and ground-based observational data products with advanced modeling techniques to support a variety of water resources applications, including drought monitoring, river forecasting, food security, and weather prediction. Machine learning offers new opportunities to reduce uncertainties in hydrology modeling, extract more information from Earth-observing satellite data, and improve our ability to predict the global water cycle.
