Federal Science and Water Gene Whitney Office of Science and Technology Policy Executive Office of the President NIWR February 28, 2006

What are the key questions ? Will the U.S. have enough fresh water to sustain economic growth regionally and nationally? Will our drinking water be safe? How will climate change affect water supply and our management of water? What are our options for expanding water supply in a sustainable manner? Is it possible to improve our water policies?

Key needs for water in the United States? Modern, well-maintained water infrastructure Competent, watershed-based water management Fair, uniform and coherent water policy Broad, nationally consistent surface water and ground water monitoring Scientifically rigorous understanding and models of water processes hydrology, chemistry, biology, SBE

How do we address national water science and technology issues? Mandate from the bosses NSTC and SWAQ Slicing and dicing water 1. Know U.S. water resources and uses 2. Expand U.S. water supply options 3. Improve water management tools

1. Know our Water Resources and Uses Know our water resources and how they are changing Know our water use Know our engineered water infrastructure Know our ecosystems services ……… a water census

2. S&T to Expand our Water-Supply Options for the Future Improve use of existing water resources through use efficiency & new methods Improve efficiency of infrastructure Expand water supply through treatment and expanded use of lower quality water Develop new approaches for storage

3. Develop Tools to Make Good Decisions as we Shape our Water Future Predict outcomes of storage, release, withdrawal, and use of water Predict outcomes of our planning and policy decisions Predict water needs/benefits for ecosystems and impact on other uses

The rest of the story…… Finish the interagency strategic plan for water S&T (…and Ocean Action Plan) Work with agencies to get priorities built into their planning and budget processes Work with OMB to use priorities to guide Administration budget decisions
