This paper introduces a machine learning-based model to forecast reservoir water volumes in India. In areas with high water stress, having access to timely information on forecasted water availability could help decision-makers avoid the risk of acute water-driven power outages and advocate for long-term, water-prudent policies and management. This forecast can flag when drought-like conditions threaten water supply, but should not be used to inform reservoir management operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
