Water security is the availability of acceptable quantity and quality of water for sustaining human health, economic welfare and the well-being of environmental and ecological systems while mitigating the associated risks and threats down to acceptable levels. For nations all around the globe, water security is of paramount concern since much of our economic well-being depends on the availability of fresh water. Currently, in the United States, many EPSCoR jurisdictions are confronting water security crises that are intensified by large-scale natural weather cycles and climate change effects. The objective of the Water Security Planning and Management workshop is to establish collaborative teams of investigators with sufficient scale and depth of expertise to catalyze water-security research capability across and among multiple EPSCoR jurisdictions. The workshop will help develop diverse multi-disciplinary research teams that will catalyze water research capability across and among multiple EPSCoR jurisdictions. These coordinated team efforts will provide professional development pathways to help train scientists in water-related STEM areas, particularly through the inclusion of underrepresented groups at minority institutions in several EPSCoR jurisdictions. Follow-up joint proposal development activities will generate additional opportunities for STEM training for underrepresented minorities across all EPSCoR jurisdictions.The proposed workshop will advance scientific knowledge by providing a unique forum for a systematic expert discussion of multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary water security issues experienced by the EPSCoR states. The workshop sessions will be grouped under four focus areas: asset assessment, threat assessment, threat management, and human interactions. These areas will provide an interrogative framework for presentations, discussions, and brainstorming sessions conducive to develop transformative solutions. Workshop activities of the participating EPSCoR teams will focus on: a) development of scientific and engineering research programs to address water security management problems that threaten the economic well-being of the EPSCoR states; b) development of joint cyberinfrastructure research programs with an aim to construct intelligent water security networks that can facilitate water quantity and quality information flow within and between EPSCoR states; and c) development of partnership and outreach programs to collaborate with industries, academic institutions, and governmental organizations. The workshop outcomes will be summarized in a comprehensive project report. The report will also identify key water management problems that are relevant to EPSCoR states (especially in the Southeastern region), provide potential solutions, and develop a roadmap for addressing water security governance in economic, environmental, political and social dimensions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

水安全是可接受数量和水质的水，以维持人类健康，经济福利以及环境和生态系统的福祉，同时减轻相关风险和威胁到可接受的水平。对于全球各地的国家来说，水安全至关重要，因为我们的许多经济福祉取决于淡水的可用性。 目前，在美国，许多EPSCOR司法管辖区都面临着由大规模自然天气周期和气候变化影响加剧的水安全危机。水安全计划和管理研讨会的目的是建立具有足够规模和专业知识深度的调查人员的合作团队，以促进多个EPSCOR管辖区的水安全研究能力。该研讨会将有助于建立多样化的多学科研究团队，这些研究团队将促进多个Epscor司法管辖区的水研究能力。这些协调的团队努力将提供专业发展途径，以帮助培训与水有关的STEM地区的科学家，尤其是通过在几个EPSCOR司法管辖区的少数民族机构中包括代表性不足的团体。后续联合提案开发活动将为所有EPSCOR管辖区中代表性不足的少数群体提供更多的STEM培训机会。拟议的研讨会将通过为系统的专家讨论提供独特的专家讨论来推进科学知识，以对多义大利和多学科和多学科的水安全问题进行系统的讨论。研讨会会议将分为四个重点领域：资产评估，威胁评估，威胁管理和人类互动。这些领域将为有利于开发变革性解决方案的演讲，讨论和集思广益会议提供疑问框架。参与的EPSCOR团队的研讨会活动将重点关注：a）开发科学和工程研究计划，以解决威胁EPSCOR国家经济福祉的水安全管理问题； b）制定网络基础设施研究计划，目的是构建智能水安全网络，以促进EPSCOR国家内外的水量和质量信息流； c）制定合作伙伴关系和外展计划，以与行业，学术机构和政府组织合作。 研讨会的成果将在一份综合项目报告中总结。该报告还将确定与EPSCOR国家（尤其是在东南地区）相关的关键水管理问题，提供潜在的解决方案，并为解决经济，环境，政治和社会维度方面的水安全治理解决路线图。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的crietia crietia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia criperia recteria recteria rectiation awsion奖。
