The Louisiana Watershed Initiative will host a webinar at 10 a.m. March 6 to discuss plans to enhance the statewide river and rain gauge network, a foundational program for the LWI that will support statewide watershed models, waterway monitoring and flood mitigation and response efforts.
Local and regional technical experts—public works officials, floodplain managers, GIS staff and others—are encouraged to participate. The webinar will explain the gauge network design process and timeline, as well as the need for local input and expertise regarding gauge placement and areas that are under-monitored.
