In plain English
H.R. 3857, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Hurd (R-CO), reauthorizes the Bureau of Reclamation's Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program through 2031 and requires the program to incorporate modern snowpack measurement and modeling technologies into water supply forecasts and allocations to federal water contractors. The bill directs the program to emphasize deployment of integrated snowpack measuring and modeling technologies, with particular focus on improving forecasts responsive to changing weather conditions, real-time integration of measurements with forecasts, activities in river basins where data can inform water management decisions, and building partner capacity to implement and adapt to new measurement and forecast capabilities.
