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、人口增长、供水不平等和土地覆盖变化都影响了淡水的数量和质量。这是 21 世纪人类面临的最大挑战之一，科学家和地方、区域和国家管理者需要更加密切地合作，共享信息，以创建能够应对这些水挑战的新工具和解决方案。来自临界区科学领域不同的研究人员研究水如何从树冠顶部（例如树木、草地、农作物）移动到地下水深处。来自该领域的信息向我们展示了土地覆盖变化、气候和干扰如何改变水的分配方式。分为“绿”水和“蓝”水两个部分，即通过植物或直接从地表返回大气的水，“绿”水，而地表水和地下水则为“蓝”水。通过一系列的调查，通过信息会议和虚拟研讨会，我们的目标是联合不同群体共同开发适应性强、可操作的解决方案，我们的目标是证明基础科学、工业、非营利组织和政府实体之间的融合已准备好加速解决方案。在此过程中，我们将利用我们的研讨会在资源管理者、关键区域科学家和非营利组织之间建立新的并加深现有的关系。 、私营部门和民间部门的领导人来自美国各地的合作解决问题的目标是确定可在未来一到三年内付诸实施的水资源解决方案，知识转移将是多向的，由水资源部门的利益相关者进行简短的介绍。最终，这些新的伙伴关系和解决方案可以改善国家的经济、粮食、能源和水安全，这些安全将被综合并公开。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
