Core Support of the Water Science and Technology Board

1548080 Jacobs水科学与技术委员会的核心支持水科学与技术委员会是在国家科学院和国家工程院的支持下完成的与水资源和水文科学有关的研究的焦点。委员会的目标是改善科学和技术基础，以解决与有效管理和利用地下水和地表水资源有关的重要国家问题和问题。在履行其职责和为国家利益服务的过程中，审计委员会通过其关于水资源的具体和一般问题的特设研究响应评价和咨询的请求，通过发起对值得公共机构和其他机构审议的问题的研究来影响行动，确定与水资源有关的问题和研究主题，并与国家研究委员会（NRC）的其他单位和NRC以外有共同利益的团体合作。委员会的知识价值在促进对水资源的传统科学和工程方面以及经济、体制、法律、教育和社会方面的知识和理解方面是重要的。该委员会由涉及水资源活动的所有学科的成员组成，并对政府、州和地方机构以及其他方面的具体要求作出反应。委员会预测未来在科学、工程和技术方面对与水有关的多学科研究和教育的需求和能力。这些项目分别由委员会监督下的特设委员会供资和执行。在委员会会议上，联络代表提供意见和建议，以帮助委员会制定其计划和报告其活动。委员会促进发现和理解，同时促进教学、培训和学习，以预测未来对与水有关的多学科研究和科学、工程和技术教育的需求和能力，从而促进其活动产生更广泛的影响。理事会成员和工作人员参加会议、讲习班和其他活动，传播对其报告的科学和技术理解。委员会的调查结果使社会受益，因为它确保水资源方面的活动得到与水在促进国家利益方面所起作用相称的注意。

1548080 Jacobs Core Support of the Water Science and Technology Board The Water Science and Technology Board is the focal point for studies related to water resources and hydrologic sciences accomplished under the aegis of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. The Board's objective is to improve the scientific and technological basis for resolving important national questions and issues associated with the efficient management and use of ground and surface water resources. In carrying out its responsibilities and in serving the national interest, the Board responds to requests for evaluations and advice through its ad hoc studies concerning specific and generic issues in water resources, influences action by initiating studies of issues that merit consideration by public agencies and others, identifies issues and topics of research related to water resources, and cooperates with other units of the National Research Council (NRC) and groups with mutual interests outside of the NRC. The intellectual merit of the Board is important in advancing knowledge and understanding covering the traditional scientific and engineering aspects of water resources and the economic, institutional, legal, educational, and social aspects, as well. The Board consists of members from all of the disciplines involved in water resources activities and responds to specific requests from government, state and local agencies, and others. The Board projects future needs for and capabilities of multi-disciplinary water-related research and education in the sciences, engineering, and technology. These projects are separately funded and carried out by ad hoc committees under the Board's oversight. At meetings of the Board, liaison representatives provide comments and suggestions to aid the board in developing its program and reports on its activities. The Board promotes broader impacts for its activities by advancing discovery and understanding while promoting teaching, training and learning in projecting future needs for and capabilities of multi-disciplinary water-related research and education in the sciences, engineering, and technology. Board members and staff participate in conferences, workshops, and other activities to disseminate the scientific and technological understanding of its reports. The Board's findings benefit society by assuring that the activities in water resources receive attention appropriate to the role water plays in furthering national interest.
