Support of the Water Science and Technology Board

9312236帕克这是一个奖项，旨在为国家科学院、国家工程院、国家研究委员会的水科学技术委员会的运作提供新的支持。该委员会为有关水管理的环境工程方面的研究提供了一个协调中心。委员会的目标是改善解决与水资源管理有关的重要问题和问题的科学和技术基础。该奖项由工程局环境和海洋系统计划的环境工程部分和地球科学局的水文科学计划共同支持。水科学技术委员会的一个重要职能是进行研究，并赞助可用于计划规划目的的研讨会和会议。该委员会还作为与其他联邦机构协调研究计划的适当手段，这些机构包括联邦应急管理局、美国地质调查局、美国环保局、能源部和美国陆军工程兵团。

9312236 Parker This is an award to provide renewed support for the operation of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, National Research Council's Water Science Technology Board. This Board provides a focal point for studies related to environmental engineering aspects of water management. The Board's objective is to improve the scientific and technological basis for resolving important questions and issues relating to management of water resources. This award is jointly supported by the Environmental Engineering segment of the Environmental and Ocean Systems Program in the Engineering Directorate and by the Hydrologic Sciences Program in the Directorate for Geosciences. An important function of the Water Science Technology Board is to conduct studies and to sponsor workshops and conferences that can be utilized for program planning purposes. The Board also functions as an appropriate means for coordination of research plans with other Federal agencies including FEMA, USGS, EPA, DOE, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
