For your final assignment, imagine that you have been asked to provide a clear and concise report to your organisation on one of the following topics:

Option A) Discuss the work responsibilities of your office. What are the particular services your office provides to the government/administration/other organisations or to the public? What data sources do you rely on to accomplish your responsibilities? What areas in the process needs the most improvement (for example: access to data, computation limitations, staffing limitations)?

Option B) Report about your local hydrological conditions. Describe the hydrologic variability in your area of concern ( e.g. seasonal variability of precipitation, flooding, drought, groundwater issues, etc.).

Option C) Outline the strengths and weaknesses of your local hydrologic forecasting system. Provide a detailed description of your current operational flood forecast methodology. What are some of its significant shortcomings and what sorts of tools, data, programs and infrastructure are needed to improve the forecast system?

Decide which of these options you would like to pursue for your Final Writing Assignment. Then please make a post to this forum that includes:

    1. Your name
    2. Report title
    3. Option A, B, or C
    4. A 2-3 sentence description of what you will discuss
