... The development of Improved management strategies and viable interventions to meet these ch~lenges will entail unprecedented coordination and integration across a broad range of research disciplines and segments of society. Applications and User Integration The increasing emphasis of the USGCRP on integrated assessment of the regional impacts of global change, including impacts on water resources, is fostering participatory, interactive research involving researchers, decision-makers, resource users, educators, and others who need more and better information about climate and its impacts.

... Promoting greater literacy includes educating decision-makers, the public and K-12 students in order to support informed public decisions about water issues that society will face in coming decades. New approaches in undergraduate and graduate education that transcend the traditional focus on hydrologic applications are needed to educate a generation of scientists and engineers who can develop and apply advances in hydrologic science (NRC, 1991)
