Description
NIFA
initiates a new challenge area to address critical water resources issues such
as drought, excess soil moisture, flooding, quality and others in an
agricultural context. Funding will be used to develop management practices,
technologies, and tools for farmers, ranchers, forest owners and managers,
public decision makers, public and private managers, and citizens to improve
water resource quantity and quality. NIFA's approach will link social,
economic, and behavioral sciences with traditional biophysical sciences and
engineering to address regional-scale issues with shared hydrological processes
and meteorological and basin characteristics.
