The next generation water tool for managing surface and groundwater conjunctively across jurisdictions

水资源对社会、生态系统和工业至关重要。水资源管理需要获得信息，但这种信息往往不存在，或难以获得和理解。我们打算开发一个免费的，在线的联合水管理工具（S）为所有的北美这将是在地下水和地表水的管理转型。该研究项目将测试科学方法并明确优先事项，以支持下一代水工具的开发。这项研究将由Gleeson和他的“地下水科学与可持续性”研究小组与Foundry Spatial首席执行官Ben Kerr和员工密切合作进行，同时申请人还建立了合作伙伴，以将其转化为市场就绪的产品，提供清晰简单的水资源信息交流。******

Water resources are crucial to society, ecosystems, and industry. Management of water resources requires access to information, yet this information often does not exist, or is difficult to access and understand. We intend to develop are a free, online conjunctive water management tool(s) for all of North America which will be transformational in the management of groundwater and surface water. This research project will test scientific methods and clarify priorities to support the development of this next generation water tool. The research will be conducted by Gleeson and his 'Groundwater Science and Sustainability' research group in close collaboration with Foundry Spatial CEO Ben Kerr and staff while the applicants also establish partners to operationalize this into a market-ready product that will offer clear and simple communication of water resources information. ******
