Cities, communities, and rural areas across the nation depend on a safe, reliable, healthy supply of water for human consumption; the production of food, fiber, and other products; and sustaining aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The science and management of water requires consideration of both the quantity and quality of water resources and the land management activities that affect these water resources. CSREES efforts cover a broad range of activity in this area. Research funded by CSREES provides the basic knowledge needed to address water quality and quantity issues in rural and agricultural watersheds. Extension and other outreach programs apply this knowledge to protect and improve water quality and assure the continued supply of safe and healthy water resources to communities across the nation. Education activities provide state-of-the-science learning opportunities for future leaders addressing water resource issues.
