In the second phase, we will develop a more robust version of the dashboard. This will include multiple parameters of hydrological and geospatial data for analysis, monitoring, and for giving early warnings on specified indicators. The goal of this current project is to be extended to include more SRB environmental parameter numbers, as well as to improve upon the performance and accuracy of the predicative model. This will be different for each of the parameters. Phase One of this research was presented at the HU Data Analytic Summit and AI Conference 2019 in Boston.
