Lower Rio Grande River Salinity Forecasting (LRGSF) aims to provide a 6 hour to 48 hour forecasting in salinity levels of the lower Rio Grande River using various machine learning techniques, including recurrent neural networks. The goal is to forecast salinity levels from the Falcon Dam in Starr County, Texas to the Gulf of Mexico using the many gage stations along the riverbank, as shown in the image above.

Once salinity levels have been forecasted, our goal is to display the salinity levels in a color gradient format along the Rio Grande River, as shown in the image above. High salinity levels can have a negative impact on the Gulf's ocean currents and marine life, so it's important to monitor the salinity going into our oceans.
