Abstract

In this HydroLearn module, learners will focus on delineating key watershed boundaries using the NextGen hydrofabric, exploring how terrain, land use, and hydrologic connections shape flood risk in places like Asheville. They will learn to interpret geospatial data, understand the role of catchments and flowpaths, and apply standardized workflows in real-world scenarios. By the end, participants will be equipped to examine the physical factors behind Hurricane Helene’s devastating impacts, setting the stage for improved flood preparedness and a deeper understanding of watershed behavior.
