Land Phase Hydrologic Model 2.0 Python Calibration
Description
Calibration of Land Phase Model 2.0 python is expected to be completed in January 2025. The data will need to be retained after the project. Additional storage space will be needed for future phases of the project. Future phases may require the model being connected to ground water models leading to a much more sophisticated and complex model. These future phases shall be dependent on how successful the calibration of the Land Phase model is during 2024. Future phases could require more processing power/space.
Project Justification
This project is driven by the need to quantify and track the effects of climate change on water supply availability for New Jersey. This must be done quickly to avoid potential adverse impacts to our water supplies and enable model results to be used in future NJ water supply plans. A sophisticated high-performance model is needed for this purpose.
The goal is to have a calibration of the model sufficient to downscale our ability to quantify and track the statewide effects of climate change on water supply availability to the watershed management area and county levels. This will enable identification of more localized water supply availability issues within New Jersey.

Activity
Show:
The Program is still investigating options with Rutgers and USGS to compare against what OIT/DOIT can provide. They have some scheduled meetings in June with Rutgers to discuss in more detail available options.
The main deliverable here is an increase in storage space. But the increase was so significant, a Project IT sheet was required. Project IT sheet contains the background and justification.
Working on Project IT Sheet. Will add details to this project entry once I learn more.
