A Hydroinformatics poem for Jerad Bales

Hydroinformatics is numbers
slowly dripping
down a pipeline
of vintage equations
explosive datasets
and exhaustive agendas,
wet with the sweat of
dedicated scientists
transient moments of clarity
and flowcharts.

Hydroinformatics is water converted
by our creativity and innovation
into a reservoir of 0's and 1's
assimilated into a pillow
that soften our edges with collaboration
and smooths our future consequences
with heroic feats of knowledge building
on where the water has been
and where the water is going.
