Detailed Description
Hedeff Essaid is a Research Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey at Moffett Field, California. She is currently facilitating two research projects that involve teams of researchers focused on advancing integrated modeling strategies and regional water availability assessment methodologies. The modeling and assessment approaches integrate human and natural systems to examine water quantity and quality with their impacts on human and aquatic ecosystems needs. The approaches also facilitate exploration of how future water availability may evolve with changing climate, water demand, land use and land cover, water management, socioeconomics, and sea level rise. Methods are being prototyped and tested in the Delaware River Basin, and will subsequently be applied in the Upper Colorado, Illinois, Willamette, and Trinity-San Jacinto River Basins.
