Project Wrap-Up Presentation

[snhandelsman]

Goal: Analysts to develop a set of slides to present project results to the DEQ Water Supply Planning & Analysis (WSPA) team. Time: Aim for 10-15mins of content Date: May 3rd Presentation Slides

List of potential topics to include (Thank you Sarah for starting this list) (This isn't comprehensive, please add/modify and adapt as you see fit):

• What is/was the overall goal of your work on this project?
• Initial workflow from Summer
  • Communicate the steps of the process: See https://github.com/HARPgroup/HARParchive/issues/128
• downloaded all NLDAS data
• Water deficit calculations (hamon & Hargreaves-samani)
• 7 day rolling deficits
• made initial QGIS map
• Summary Stats
• functionalized everything
• WDM files
• QA process developed
• ArcGIS map - updated land segments
• Mix and match meteorology
• Next steps for this work (how can this work be applied for drought impacts prediction etc.)
  • May help to refer back to earlier planning issues such as this one: https://github.com/HARPgroup/HARParchive/issues/51

Something we'll want you to consider as you compile your slides: what value do you think this work adds to water supply permitting/planning/analysis and how may it be useful to a water manager? (i.e. those at DEQ who are tasked with making water supply management decisions)
