For Bob Steinke and the rest of the CI-WATER researchers working on ADHydro, their hard work and dedication has paid off with the completion of the model.

 “We have the code running, with groundwater, surface water infiltration and channels, rivers, and lakes,” says Bob Steinke, a software engineer at the University of Wyoming. “It’s running, it’s not crashing, and we get results out.”

ADHydro is a new hydrology model that will allow researchers in the field to better understand water processes, including how fast water soaks through the soil, how fast water flows over land and more. Now that ADHydro is running, researchers will continue to work on the model and build on it, making it faster and more powerful.

“The next step is really performance improvement,” says Bob.  “We get results out, but now we have to make sure those results are right.”

For the whole team working on ADHydro, getting it up and running is a huge success. “We’re happy with our progress,” Bob says.
