The US Geological Survey (USGS), via its Ecological National Synthesis Project (ENS) of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, offers this grant to a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partner. This funding opportunity supports research focused on developing data that describes the chemical and physical characteristics of bedrock geology. The primary goal is to integrate this crucial data into empirical models designed to predict water chemistry in rivers and streams across the contiguous United States. These models must be capable of accurately forecasting key water quality parameters, including electrical conductivity, acid neutralization capacity, calcium, magnesium, and total phosphorus concentrations, specifically under conditions of minimal human impact. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of natural water chemistry baselines.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Ecological National Synthesis Project (ENS) of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, is offering a funding opportunity seeks to a CESU partner for research in the development of data describing chemical and physical attributes of bedrock geology and the incorporation of this data into empirical models that predict water chemistry in rivers and streams throughout the contiguous United States. The models should be capable of predicting electrical conductivity, acid neutralization capacity, and calcium, magnesium, and total phosphorus concentrations that would be expected under minimal anthropogenic influences. |
