Strategic Analytical Approaches for Evaluation of Watershed Impacts Related to Agricultural Water and Climate Extremes

拟议的研究工具和手段旨在提供和支持对高素质人员的长期和可持续培训，以评估加强流域管理的具体方法和设计，重点是农村和农业社区，并在与自然资源和水消费、可获得性和可用性相关的经济发展背景下。熟练使用拟议的设备将支持HQP培训、技能发展、职业提升和行业价值。这些设备每月至少使用40小时，高峰期每月使用超过150小时。应用包括设计和测试农村和农业径流水质和处理功效，包括工业水资源管理、处理和分配;农业水资源管理和沉积物、细菌和营养物的环境迁移;极端气候（干旱和水过剩）对水供应和资源管理的影响。

The proposed research tools and instruments are intended to provide and support long-term and sustainable training of highly qualified personnel (HQP) to evaluate specific methods and designs to enhance watershed management, focusing on rural and agricultural communities and in the context of economic development associated with natural resources and water consumption, accessibility and availability. Proficiency in using the proposed equipment will support HQP training, skills development, career enhancement, and value to industry. The equipment will be in use for a minimum of 40 hours each per month, with peak use in excess of 150 hours per month each. Applications include designing and testing rural and agricultural runoff water quality and treatment efficacy, including industrial water resource management, treatment and allocation; agricultural water resource management and environmental transport of sediments, bacteria and nutrients; and impacts of climate extremes (droughts and excess water) on water availability and resource management.
