项目摘要

Water, its quality, quantity, accessibility, and management, is crucial to society. However, our ability to model and quantitatively understand the complex interwoven environmental processes that control water and its availability is severely hampered by inadequate tools related to hydrologic data discovery, systems integration, modeling/ simulation, and education. This project develops sustainable cyberinfrastructure for better access to water-related data and models in the hydrologic sciences, enabling hydrologists and other associated communities to collaborate and combine data and models from multiple sources. It will provide new ways in which hydrologic knowledge is created and applied to better understand water availability, quality, and dynamics. It will also help to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions between natural and engineered aspects of the water cycle. These goals will be achieved through the development of interoperable cyberinfrastructure tools and the creation of an online collaborative environment, called HydroShare, which enables scientists to easily discover and access hydrologic and related data and models, retrieve them to their desktop, and perform analyses in a high performance computing environment. The software to be developed will take advantage of existing NSF cyberinfrastructure (iRODS, HUBzero, CSDMS, CUAHSI HIS) and be created as open source code. Its development will be end user-driven. In terms of broader impacts, the project builds essential infrastructure for science by developing software tools and computing environments to allow better understanding of the impacts of climate change (i.e., floods, droughts, biofuels, etc.) and to allow improved water resource development and the management of freshwater resources both above and below ground. Resulting software will be made publicly available and provides a strong student and workforce training/education component. In addition, the project supports an institution in an EPSCoR state and engages, as a PI, a person who is from a group under-represented in the sciences and engineering.

水，质量，数量，可及性和管理对社会至关重要。但是，由于与水文数据发现，系统集成，建模/模拟和教育相关的工具不足，我们的控制水及其可用性的复杂交织环境过程的模型和定量能力严重阻碍了它的建模和定量能力。该项目开发了可持续的网络基础设施，以更好地访问水文科学中与水有关的数据和模型，从而使水文学家和其他相关社区能够合作，结合来自多个来源的数据和模型。它将提供创建和应用水文知识的新方法，以更好地了解水的可用性，质量和动态。它还将有助于对水循环自然和工程方面之间的相互作用有更全面的了解。这些目标将通过开发可互操作的网络基础架构工具以及创建名为HydroShare的在线协作环境的创建，该工具使科学家能够轻松地发现和访问水文和相关的数据和模型，将其检索到其桌面上，并在高性能计算环境中进行分析。要开发的软件将利用现有的NSF CyberinFrastructure（IROD，Hubzero，CSDMS，Cuahsi His），并作为开源代码创建。它的开发将以用户为导向。在更广泛的影响方面，该项目通过开发软件工具和计算环境来建立科学基础设施，以更好地理解气候变化的影响（即洪水，干旱，生物燃料等），并允许改进水资源开发以及在地面上和下面的淡水资源的管理。所得的软件将公开提供，并提供强大的学生和劳动力培训/教育部分。此外，该项目还支持EPSCOR州的机构，并以PI的身份参与，该机构是来自科学和工程中代表不足的小组的人。
