This five-year project funds the continued efforts by the hydrologic science community to develop infrastructure for the integrated study of the water cycle. Four major project areas are in informatics, instrumentation, synthesis, and observatory design. In informatics, the focus of the effort is moving a developmental effort in web services to provide seamless access to water data services to an operational status through outreach and engagement of the academic research community and collaboration with government agencies which collect water data, such as the US Geological Survey, US Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the US Department of Agriculture. Workshops will also be held for the development of a Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform. Training workshops for advanced instrumentation will be held annually that will bring together academic developers, industry, and field scientists. Interdisciplinary research can be advanced through synthesis of data sets from multiple perspectives. Two summer synthesis institutes will be held to enable broader community participation in existing synthesis activities underway at the University of Illinois and City University of New York. CUAHSI will also participate in the on-going design of the WATERS Network, a major capital project for field observatories being developed jointly with the environmental engineering and social sciences communities.Effective management of water resources in the coming century will require a more complete understanding of water in the earth system, its interactions with biota, and its economic role in food, fiber, and energy production, particularly as we are faced with climate change and increasing population pressures on this vital resource. This project seeks to develop tools and services to permit more integrated water research to be done more quickly and more efficiently.

这个为期五年的项目为水文科学界为综合研究水循环发展基础设施的持续努力提供资金。四个主要项目领域是信息学、仪器、综合和天文台设计。在信息学方面，努力的重点是推动网络服务的发展工作，通过学术研究界的外联和参与，以及与收集水数据的政府机构（如美国地质调查局、美国环境保护局、国家海洋和大气管理局和美国农业部）的合作，提供对水数据服务的无缝访问，使其进入可操作状态。还将举办讲习班，以发展一个社区水文模拟平台。先进仪器的培训研讨会将每年举行一次，将汇集学术开发人员、工业和现场科学家。跨学科研究可以通过从多个角度综合数据集来推进。将举办两个夏季合成研究所，以使更广泛的社区参与正在伊利诺伊大学和纽约城市大学进行的现有合成活动。中国科学院还将参与正在进行的WATERS网络的设计，这是一个与环境工程和社会科学界共同开发的实地观测站的主要资本项目。在下一个世纪对水资源的有效管理需要更全面地了解水在地球系统中的作用，它与生物群的相互作用，以及它在食品、纤维和能源生产中的经济作用，特别是在我们面临气候变化和人口对这一重要资源日益增加的压力的情况下。该项目旨在开发工具和服务，以便更迅速、更有效地进行更综合的水研究。
