Subgroups
The
National
Water Quality Monitoring Council (NWQMC) provides a national forum
for
coordination of consistent and scientifically defensible methods and
strategies
to improve water quality monitoring, assessment and reporting.
The
NWQMC Methods and Data Comparability
Board provides a forum for exploring, evaluating, and promoting methods
that facilitate collaboration and further comparability between water monitoring
programs.
The National Liaison Committee
(NLC) for the National Water Quality
Assessement Program (NAWQA) creates an ongoing national liaison process
for external organizations to work interactively with the NAWQA Program
in joint
problem solving on water quality issues. The
goal of the Subcommittee
on Ground Water is to develop and encourage implementation of
a nationwide, long term ground-water quantity and quality monitoring
framework that would provide information necessary for the planning,
management, and development of ground-water supplies to meet current
and future water needs, and ecosystem requirements. The Subcommittee
on Hydrology desires to improve the availability and reliability of
surface-water quantity information needed for hazard mitigation, water supply
and demand management, and environmental protection. The
Subcommittee on Sedimentation
of the Advisory Committee on Water Information promotes collaboration on the sediment issues; and advances in information gathering, storing, and sharing; for decision making about natural resources management and environmental protection. (See Terms of Reference for more details.)
The Subcommittee
on Spatial Water Data jointly sponsored with the Federal
Geographic Data Committee develops water-resources components of
the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. The Sustainable
Water Resources Roundtable serves as a forum to share information and
perspectives that will promote better decisionmaking in the United States
regarding the sustainable development of our nation's water resources. Cooperative Water Program (1999)
