AHPS Overview

The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (or AHPS for short) is a congressionally funded service improvement program that allows us to incrementally introduce new products and services across the country. The goals of AHPS are to:

  • Produce more accurate products incorporating advanced hydrologic science into our models.

  • Provide more specific and timely information on fast-rising floods with increased lead time.

  • Create easier to use products in new formats, including graphics.

  • Create information useful in assessing risk to flooding including forecast probability.

  • Provide products with forecast horizons for two weeks into the future and beyond.

  • Increase the distribution of products using advanced information technologies (e.g. Internet) therefore, providing broader and more timely access and delivery of information.

  • Expand outreach and engage partners and customers in all aspects of hydrologic product improvement.

For more information, see the AHPS full color brochure or our Concepts of Service and Operations page.
