Supporting the Mississippi River Basin Drought and Water Dashboard Development聽
Congratulations to NOAA鈥檚 National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) on the launch of the Mississippi River Basin Drought and Water Dashboard. This dashboard provides crucial, timely information to support decision-making for those living and working in the basin, which spans 31 states and 40 percent of the contiguous U.S. The team created the dashboard to curate data from across the government, offer customizable maps and images, and provide context on drought impacts. The new dashboard was officially launched at the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative annual meeting on September 17, 2025.
In support of the 探花精选-Riverside contract with NOAA鈥檚 National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), 探花精选-Riverside staff and partners with ISciences, LLC collaborated with NOAA鈥檚 National Weather Service, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Geological Survey, state and local government agencies, and industry organizations. The project progressed from initial development and design, including a customized page menu and various map configurations, to multiple feedback sessions with stakeholders and partners. The teams incorporated this feedback to refine the dashboard’s design, content, and functionality. While navigating this process, the team also tackled several technical challenges, such as migrating server operating systems and addressing a variety of data processing and web-rendering issues to ensure the dashboard’s smooth operation.
The development team diligently worked to build a robust and user-friendly product. The group divided their talents and skills for front and back-end development. Front end development focused on creating and refining the website’s components, including map interfaces and a custom floating menu for the dashboard. Back-end development involved robust data processing, containerization, and server migration efforts to ensure reliable data streams, and a stable operational environment. The team鈥檚 cohesiveness, efficiency and attention to detail resulted in a dynamic and comprehensive resource for drought and water information.
