Water Availability and Watershed Management
This program develops practices and technologies to manage the Nation's agricultural water resources. Research focus areas include developing methods to reuse degraded water, increase water use efficiency and water availability to mitigate impacts of drought. Develop practices and tools to quantify and predict the impact of conservation practices and their net cumulative benefits within watersheds. Develop technology and strategies to restore stream corridors and reduce soil erosion and sedimentation. Develop technology and strategies to reduce the transport of nutrients, pathogens, and pharmaceutically active compounds to enhance water quality. Results will provide the technologies to manage and deliver safe and reliable fresh water supplies to the agricultural, urban, and industrial sectors of society while enhancing the aquatic natural resources of the Nation.
