Interdisciplinary Approaches to Identification & Mitigation of NPS Water Quality Impacts Geosciences (Hydrology), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (Environmental) and E

在整个美国，非点源水污染比任何其他来源造成更多英里的河流污染，并大大促进地下水退化。 水污染的非点源包括城市、工业、农业、矿井排水、能源生产和娱乐。 这一培训项目得到了一个强大而成功的跨学科研究团队的支持，将水量和水质分析与非点源水污染的控制和修复相结合。 重点将是扩大基本科学知识，应用于查明和量化水污染的非点源，并选择最合适的替代办法来缓解特定问题。 该方案有能力， 预计将扩大。 培训计划中的创新结构组件包括： 1. 科罗拉多州立大学 以及怀俄明州大学（EPSCoR University）。 2. 流域科学之间的跨学科努力， 土木工程、牧场科学和农学（水 化学）。 3. 一个针对女性和少数民族的积极招募计划 包括美洲原住民和残疾人。 4. 实施“项目管理”办法， 改善参与者之间的沟通， 学员保留率。

Throughout the United States, non-point sources of water pollution are responsible for contamination of more miles of stream than any other source, and also contribute substantially to groundwater degradation. Non-point sources of water pollution include municipalities, industries, agriculture, mine drainage, energy production and recreation. This training program, which is supported by a strong and successful interdisciplinary research team, combines water quantity and water quality analysis with control and remediation of non- point source water pollution. Emphasis will be on expanding basic scientific knowledge with applications to identification and quantification of non-point sources of water pollution and selection of the most suitable alternative for mitigation of a particular problem. There is capacity for the program, which is expected to expand. Innovative structural components in the training program include: 1. A consortial arrangement between Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming (EPSCoR University). 2. An interdisciplinary effort between Watershed Sciences, Civil Engineering, Range Science, and Agronomy (water chemistry). 3. An active recruiting program for women, minorities including Native Americans, and those with disabilities. 4. Implementation of a "project management" approach to improve communications among participants and improve trainee retention.
