Drought Management in the Humid Southeast of U.S.

将开发一个模型，以更好地了解在美国潮湿的东南部干旱条件下如何管理水资源，检查使用的应对机制，并确定该地区可以采用哪些替代水管理方案来应对下一次干旱。我们将以1986年的干旱为例进行研究。将对这一事件进行审查和定性，确定州政府对干旱的规划和反应是否成功，并对市政当局和农业部门的准备工作进行评价。在开发模型时将考虑过去的区域水资源和干旱研究以及关于全面或单独地表水和地下水开发、管理和分配的现有技术资料。市政当局、其他政府实体和私营部门在应对干旱方面的责任也将纳入该模型。该项目的结构将涉及地方、州和联邦水务机构、工业、农业和科学组织。私家侦探是非常合格的执行该项目，因此，建议奖励。

A model will be developed to better understand how water resources are managed under drought conditions in the U.S. humid southeast, to examine which are the coping mechanisms used, and to determine what are the alternative water management schemes the region could adopt for the next droughts. The drought of 1986 will be taken as the case study. This event will be examined and characterized, the lack of success of state government planning for and response to drought will be determined, and the preparedness of municipalities and the agricultural sector will be evaluated. Past regional water resources and drought research will be considered in developing the model as well as the available technical information on comprehensive, or separate, surface and groundwater development, management and allocation. The responsibilities of municipalities, other governmental entities, and the private sector in responding to drought will be factored into the model as well. The project will be structured to involve local, state and federal water agencies, industries, agriculture and scientific organizations. The P.I. is highly qualified to carry out the project, thus, an award is recommended.
