The four civil engineering professors are leading a major initiative to improve water resource management nationwide. to take an umbrella when they leave the house,” said Dan Ames, professor of civil engineering at BYU. “But the science for river modeling is pretty inaccessible. If we do our job right,

more informed decision with the same ease as deciding whether or not take an umbrella.” Ames and fellow BYU professors Jim Nelson, Gus Williams and Norm Jones will work to improve the NOAA National Water Model with web-based decision support tools, maps, dashboards and informational overlays to help people make better use of water flow predictions for every stream, river and major tributary in the United States. BYU is one of 14 academic institutions involved in the national effort, called CIROH (the Cooperative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology). The four broad research initiatives supported by CIROH are: Water resources prediction capabilities. Community water resources modeling. Hydroinformatics (the BYU-led initiative).

Inflation has increased 8.6% since May 2021, according to data released this month from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. An average family of four is spending about $700 more per month on the same things they purchased a year ago. Inflation is most noticeable at the gas pump and grocery store.

One way to tackle increased food and gas prices is to take advantage of grocery shopping apps and fuel rewards programs. Consider these tips. 1. Stay within budget. Download grocery store apps on your smartphone to plan shopping trips or place a pick-up or delivery order. The apps can help monitor grocery bill totals and help you stick to your spending limit.

These items are usually the culprits for pushing shoppers over their spending limit.

BYU to help lead national water resources effort This spring, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a massive $360 million grant to fund a four-part initiative to conduct research on water resources nationwide. BYU has been tapped to lead one of the four pillars of this major effort over the next five years. The goal is to improve the nation’s ability to forecast floods, droughts and water quality. While the effort is nationwide, it will significantly benefit Utah policymakers, water managers and residents when it comes to water management, including the challenges associated with being the second driest state in the country. BYU will lead the hydroinformatics research pillar, building on their experience of creating tools with dynamic visuals and dashboards to make water forecasting information accessible and more useful to a wider audience. “Anyone can look at a weather forecast and decide whether or not
