Fresh water is a important resource for humans and ecosystems alike. Changes in climate alongside population growth, inequities in water supply, and land cover changes have impacted both the amount and quality of fresh water. The lack of access to and availability of fresh water creates one of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century. Scientist and local, regional, and national managers will need to work together even closer to share information to create the new tools and solutions that can address these water challenges. We focus on the knowledge coming from critical zone science, a field of diverse researchers that examine how water moves from the top of the canopy (e.g., trees, grass, crops) to the depths of groundwater. Information coming from this field shows us how land cover change, climate, and disturbance alters how water is divided up into two components, “green” and “blue” water. Meaning water that goes through plants or directly from the land surface back to the atmosphere, “green” water, compared to surface and groundwater, “blue” water, that is available to people. Through a series of surveys, information sessions, and virtual workshops, we aim to unite diverse groups of people to co-develop adaptive, actionable solutions. Our aim is to demonstrate that the convergence between basic science, industry, non-profit, and government entities is primed to accelerate solutions to water resources issues that directly benefit society in the coming years to decades. In doing so, we will use our workshops to build new partnerships and deepen existing relationships among resource managers, critical zone scientists, and non-profit organizations. We will bring together public, private, and civic-sector leaders from throughout the United States for collaborative problem-solving with the goal of identifying water resource solutions that are ready to be put into action within the next one to three years. Knowledge transfer will be multi-directional with short presentations from stakeholders across water resource sectors. Ultimately, these new partnerships and solutions can lead to improved economic, food, energy, and water security for the nation that will be synthesized and made publicly available.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

淡水是人类和生态系统的重要资源。气候变化以及人口增长，供水不平等以及土地覆盖的变化影响了淡水的数量和质量。淡水缺乏通道和可用性是21世纪人类面临的最大挑战之一。科学家以及地方，地区和国家经理将需要更加紧密地共享信息，以创建可以应对这些水挑战的新工具和解决方案。我们专注于来自关键区科学的知识，这是一个潜水员研究人员的领域，这些领域研究水如何从树冠的顶部（例如树木，草，草，农作物）移动到地下水的深处。来自该领域的信息向我们展示了土地覆盖，气候和灾难如何将水分为两个组成部分：“绿色”和“蓝色”水。意思是经过植物或直接从陆地表面回到大气的水，与表面和地下水，“蓝色”水相比，“绿色”水可供人们使用。通过一系列的调查，信息会议和虚拟研讨会，我们旨在将各个人组成的人组成，以共同开发自适应，可行的解决方案。我们的目的是证明，基础科学，工业，非营利组织和政府实体之间的融合旨在加速解决水资源问题，这些问题在未来几十年中直接使社会受益。为此，我们将使用研讨会来建立新的合作伙伴关系，并加深资源经理，关键区科学家和非营利组织之间的现有关系。我们将汇集来自美国各地的公共，私人和公民部门的领导者，以解决协作解决问题，以确定准备在未来一到三年内采取行动的水资源解决方案。知识转移将是多方向的，以及从水资源领域的利益相关者的简短演示。最终，这些新的合作伙伴关系和解决方案可以改善该国的经济，粮食，能源和水安全，并将合成并公开可用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
