The US Geological Survey, Central Midwest Water Science Center, is offering funding to a CESU partner for critical research. This grant aims to conduct regional water-availability assessments within the Illinois River Basin (ILRB), a key focus area for the USGS’s Integrated Water Availability Assessments (IWAAs). The IWAAs provide a real-time census and prediction of water availability for both human and ecological needs, considering quantity, timing, quality, and use. The ILRB was chosen as a Midwestern Regional IWAAs basin, specifically addressing nutrient issues and harmful algal blooms (HABs) as part of a broader USGS Integrated Water Science project. This initiative develops national assessment and prediction capacities, enhancing understanding of vital water resources.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey, Central Midwest Water Science Center, is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in regional water-availability assessments for the Illinois River Basin (ILRB). The USGS Integrated Water Availability Assessments (IWAAs) are a multi-extent, stakeholder driven, near real-time census and prediction of water availability for both human and ecological uses at regional and national extents. Water availability reflects the quantity, timing, quality, and use of water resources. The ILRB, defined as the watershed upstream of Mississippi River confluence at Grafton, IL, was selected as a midwestern Regional IWAAs basin focusing on nutrient issues and harmful algal blooms (HABs) as part of a USGS Integrated Water Science (IWS) Basin project. These regional intensive assessments in reference basins form the mechanism to develop and evolve nationally integrated assessment and prediction capacity and applications, which will be completed in coordination with the IWS Basin planning process. |
