H.R. 3857
Snow Water Supply Forecasting Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill would extend the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program through 2031 and direct the Bureau of Reclamation to incorporate advanced technologies for measuring snowpack and forecasting water supplies in western states. It would require the program to emphasize real-time integration of snowpack measurements and computer models to improve water supply forecasts that respond to changing weather conditions, focus on river basins where better data can inform water management decisions, and help partner organizations build capacity to use these new forecasting tools.[AI-Generated]
