--Incorporation of Radar Rainfall Estimates into Hydrologic Models for the Lake Winnebago and Fox/Wolf River Watershed

The Detroit District of the Department of Defense plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Michigan Technological University to develop operational procedures that integrate ground-based precipitation radar data into runoff models for the Great Lakes watershed. This initiative focuses specifically on enhancing hydrologic models for the Lake Winnebago and Fox/Wolf River Watershed areas by improving the accuracy and utility of radar rainfall estimates within these models. The contract is identified under solicitation number USA-SNOTE-020312-002 and was posted on March 12, 2002. Although specific set-aside details, NAICS code, and place of performance are not provided, the effort is coordinated by the Detroit District office, located in Detroit, Michigan. The project aims to refine watershed runoff predictions, which plays a critical role in water resource management and flood forecasting in the Great Lakes region.
