Resumen:

Large-domain hydrologic prediction systems support a wide range of decisions, including flood forecasting, drought management, water allocation, ecosystem protection, hydropower operations, and transboundary water governance. These decisions span spatial scales from individual watersheds to continental river basins and must be made across regions that differ markedly in climate, landscape characteristics, and observational infrastructure. To address these diverse needs, this presentation describes efforts to develop prediction systems that are robust, scalable, interoperable, and capable of integrating heterogeneous observations and process representations. We discuss recent progress in representing the dominant physical and human processes across the terrestrial water cycle, from vegetation canopies to active groundwater zones and from headwater catchments to coasts. Examples are drawn from around the world, including Canada, the United States, India, New Zealand, and Chile. The presentation concludes with perspectives on the scientific, computational, and organizational advances needed to deliver more reliable, actionable, and societally relevant water predictions across continental and global domains.
