A statewide integrated water monitoring system

WHO WE ARE

Oklahoma Hydronet

The Oklahoma Hydronet, led by Oklahoma State University in collaboration with federal and state agencies, is a hydrologic monitoring system that provides timely, actionable water data from across the state. It helps communities, farmers, and water managers prepare for droughts and floods by monitoring the state’s surface water, soil water, and groundwater, and it provides crucial data for researchers developing early warning tools.

OUR MISSION

Pioneering Water Resilience through Data-Driven Decision Making

The Oklahoma Hydronet aims to dramatically improve Oklahoma’s ability to:

Monitor and predict droughts and floods
Better manage infrastructure and resources before, during, and after extreme events
More accurately target warning and relief efforts.

As the only system of its kind in the U.S. that integrates surface water, soil water, and groundwater monitoring, the Oklahoma Hydronet seeks to become a model for water management nationwide.
