Scientific framing¶
The same state variables that govern hazard susceptibility — soil moisture and groundwater levels — are also the core quantities of water resource management. Modeling them well serves both prediction (Pillars 1–3) and stewardship of water resources.
Soil moisture modeling¶
(Root-zone and surface soil moisture; drought and water-availability relevance; sensors and remote sensing products.)
Groundwater-level modeling¶
(Water-table dynamics, aquifer response, recharge estimation; links to the seismic water-table mapping in Soil Hydromechanical Memory.)
Data & models¶
(Link to DataHub and ModelHub.)
Evaluation & metrics¶
(Link to HazEvalHub: validation against wells, soil-moisture networks, and basin water balance.)
