The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering a grant to fund research aimed at understanding the impact of drought and climate change on water quality and availability. This grant focuses on developing innovative management strategies to help communities, municipalities, and water managers prepare and adapt to changing water scenarios. By addressing the complex interactions between water quality, drought, and extreme climate events, the EPA aims to safeguard the nation’s ground and surface water resources. Applications must take a systems-based approach to devise sustainable solutions to mitigate potential decreases in water quality and availability. Deadline for submissions is August 5, 2014.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications that take a systems view to investigate how drought (seasonal and prolonged), exacerbated, by climate change, may impact surface water and groundwater quality and availability. EPA is interested in characterizing and predicting water quality as it relates to drought and subsequent drought related events, such as changes in surface runoff and wildfire. The Agency is also seeking information on changes in water quality that are driven by other variations in the hydrologic cycle (extreme events or climate change). For example, flooding following drought and wildfires, timing and intensity of spring runoff, etc. EPA is also interested in research that investigates management options for communities to plan and adapt to these changing scenarios. The goal of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to provide information on these complex interactions and devise innovative and sustainable management strategies for communities, municipalities, water managers, natural resource managers, and other stakeholders to protect our nations ground and surface water resources from potential decrease in water quality and availability. |
