1728813EideWater is the most critical of all natural resources. The need to enhance our knowledge of water resources and the ways in which society conveys, stores, distributes, and increases access to water in appropriate qualities and quantities for a range of purposes has become urgent. Particularly as population growth, land use changes, and the variability in climate have challenged the natural capacity of ground and surface water systems to replenish themselves, greater understanding of water resources in all parts of the hydrological cycle and of ways to develop new approaches to monitor, model, recycle, and treat water is crucial for societal and environmental health and security. This award is for partial core support for the Water Science and Technology Board which serves as the focal point for water issues at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. As part of this role the Board brings scientific and engineering attention through publications to respond to a range of water resource questions and is an immediate resource and point of reference for the government on behalf of the water science and engineering community.The Board's objectives include advancing discovery, understanding, and application of the most current science and engineering approaches to a range of water issues; fostering cooperation and exchange among government, academia, industry, and other stakeholders on pressing topics in the water resources arena; and promoting teaching, training, and education in multi-disciplinary water-related research and technology. Through its consensus reports, convening functions, and other publications and communications, the Board, comprising subject-matter experts who serve pro bono, and the Academies staff work with the water science and engineering community to identify emerging topics relevant to the discipline and important to government, and provide a neutral forum to explore these topics on a continuing basis. As a complement to traditional forms of academic research, the Water Science and Technology Board examines emerging issues through a form of knowledge generation predicated on convening information and perspectives from a range of stakeholders. The Board?s activities are unique in their contribution to increasing knowledge in water science and engineering because they draw upon the Board?s convening capabilities, which rely upon dialogue, information exchange, and consensus building. Since 1982, the Board has fostered facilitated, focused science- and engineering-based discussions that provide valuable benefits to the water science community, the government, and public through objective examination and synthesis of pure and applied water research and its impacts. The ability to support dialogue and information exchange among different researchers and other stakeholders offers the opportunity to further advance knowledge in all areas of water science and engineering. The Board brings scientific and engineering attention to respond to a range of water resource questions and is an immediate resource and point of reference for the government on behalf of the water science and engineering community. The consistent capacity and rigor provided by the Board membership and staff enable the Board (and the Academies) to provide the broad water resources discipline with a singular interface with government and policymaking, and equally, for government with the water resources discipline. Working in strong collaboration with federal and state agencies, academia, industry, and nongovernmental organizations in the water resource arena, the Board can receive and respond to questions and issues raised by the full range of stakeholders in the water community. The Board works to isolate key topics that require input from the water science and engineering discipline and facilitates communication and cooperation among different stakeholders. Through these efforts and its use of various means of communication and outreach, the Board helps inform public policy and can engage different generations of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in constructive dialogue across the water science and policy domain.

1728813 EideWater是所有自然资源中最重要的。迫切需要加强我们对水资源的了解，以及社会为各种目的输送、储存、分配和增加适当质量和数量的水的方式。特别是随着人口增长、土地使用变化和气候多变性对地下水和地表水系统自我补充的自然能力提出了挑战，更好地了解水文循环各个部分的水资源以及开发新的水监测、建模、循环和处理方法的方法对社会和环境健康和安全至关重要。该奖项是为水科学和技术委员会提供部分核心支持，该委员会是美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院水问题的协调中心。作为这一作用的一部分，该委员会通过出版物引起科学和工程的关注，以应对一系列水资源问题，是一个直接的资源和参考点，为政府代表水科学和工程界。该委员会的目标包括促进发现，理解和应用最新的科学和工程方法来解决一系列水问题;促进政府、学术界、工业界和其他利益相关者就水资源竞技场的紧迫问题进行合作和交流;促进多学科水研究和技术方面的教学、培训和教育。通过其共识报告，召集功能，以及其他出版物和通信，董事会，包括主题专家谁无偿服务，和学院的工作人员与水科学和工程界合作，以确定相关的学科和重要的新出现的主题政府，并提供一个中立的论坛，在持续的基础上探讨这些主题。作为对传统学术研究形式的补充，水科学和技术委员会通过一种知识生成形式审查新出现的问题，这种知识生成形式以汇集一系列利益攸关方的信息和观点为基础。董事会？的活动是独特的，他们的贡献，增加水科学和工程知识，因为他们借鉴董事会？它的召集能力依赖于对话、信息交流和建立共识。自1982年以来，该委员会促进了促进，重点科学和工程为基础的讨论，提供了宝贵的利益，水科学界，政府和公众通过客观的审查和纯净水和应用水研究及其影响的综合。支持不同研究人员和其他利益攸关方之间的对话和信息交流的能力为进一步推进水科学和工程所有领域的知识提供了机会。该委员会引起科学和工程的关注，以应对一系列水资源问题，是代表水科学和工程界的政府的直接资源和参考点。董事会成员和工作人员提供的一致能力和严谨性使董事会（和学院）能够为广泛的水资源学科提供与政府和政策制定的单一界面，并同样为政府提供水资源学科。与联邦和州机构、学术界、工业界和水资源竞技场的非政府组织密切合作，董事会可以接收和回应水资源社区所有利益相关者提出的问题和议题。该委员会致力于分离出需要水科学和工程学科投入的关键主题，并促进不同利益攸关方之间的沟通与合作。通过这些努力及其使用各种沟通和外联手段，委员会有助于为公共政策提供信息，并可以让不同世代的研究人员，从业人员和决策者参与水科学和政策领域的建设性对话。
