What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
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.
