Experimental Forecast for River Chlorophyll
February 18, 2025
This app displays:
- Historical total chlorophyll observations at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gaging stations,
- Forecasts from the USGS models currently submitted to the Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI)-USGS River Chlorophyll Forecasting Challenge, and
- Forecasted driver data used to create the models in a user-friendly interface.
The EFI-USGS River Chlorophyll Forecasting Challenge invites groups to submit forecasting models for total chlorophyll in three USGS Integrated Water Science Basins (Willamette River Basin, Illinois River Basin, and Delaware River Basin) to help groups of varying experience develop their forecasting skills and contribute to research on harmful algal blooms and water quality. These forecasts are experimental, and we hope they may serve as a learning and engagement tool for the water resources community.

Integrated Water Science Basins: Willamette River
The Willamette River Basin reflects the conflicting water demands between humans and ecosystems—particularly salmon— and the challenge resource managers face throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Proxies Project
The Proxies Project is a series of studies to improve our understanding of water contaminants and water quality hazards. These studies develop models and technical approaches for estimating concentrations and assessing risk associated with: - harmful algal blooms (HABs) - per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - 12 elements of concern (EoC)
Integrated Water Science (IWS) Basins
The U.S. Geological Survey is integrating its water science programs to better address the Nation’s greatest water resource challenges. At the heart of this effort are plans to intensively study at least 10 Integrated Water Science (IWS) basins — medium-sized watersheds (10,000-20,000 square miles) and underlying aquifers — over the next decade. The IWS basins will represent a wide range of...
