Review of the WATERS Network Science Plan, National Academies Press, 2010. ProQuest Ebook Central,
 Preface

For nearly a decade, a substantial group from the hydrologic sciences

community has been engaged in discussions about formation of a net-
work of hydrologic observatories. This coincided with a time when the
National Science Foundation (NSF) was considering how to achieve the
goals of “big-science” through environmental observing systems. With
encouragement from NSF to proceed with plans for a network of hydro-
logic observatories, the WATERS initiative was born in 2005. This
committee reviewed the Draft Science, Education, and Design Strategy
(SEDS) document in 2008 and criticized the absence of a clear scientific
vision for the project. Between August 2008 and May 2009, a team of
scientists and engineers, led by Professor Jeff Dozier, prepared a Science
Plan presenting the vision for an observatory network. It was the privi-
lege of the committee who prepared this report to review this WATERS
Science Plan.
The committee brought to its task a breadth of knowledge gained

from experience with field research as well as from related scientific lit-
erature and reports produced during the planning of hydrologic observa-
tories. The WATERS Science Plan was read and reviewed within this
broad contextual background. The committee benefited greatly from
frank and open briefings provided by members of the WATERS team
and by NSF leaders from three directorates, briefings that led to much
greater appreciation of both the great potential for an observatory net-
work and also some of the challenges associated with it.
As chair of the committee, I thank the members of the committee for
their hard work in preparing three reports, of which this is the final one,
and for the way that everyone interacted with great good nature through-
out our work together. This report, like all National Research Council
(NRC) reports, was made possible by excellent staff work. My thanks to

Review of the WATERS Network Science Plan, National Academies Press, 2010. ProQuest Ebook Central,
 Summary

One of the most critical issues facing the United States today is the
proper management of our water resources. Water availability and qual-
ity are changing due to increasing population, urbanization, and land use
and climate change, and shortages in water supply have been increasing
in frequency in many parts of the country. The National Science Foun-
dation (NSF) has entertained the Water and Environmental Research
Systems (WATERS) Network as one possible initiative whereby NSF
could provide the advances in the basic science needed to respond effec-
tively to the challenge of managing water resources.
The WATERS Network, a joint initiative of the Engineering, the
Geosciences, and the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences direc-
torates at NSF, is envisioned as an integrated national network of obser-
vatories and experimental facilities supporting research, outreach, and
education on large-scale, water-related environmental problems. The
proposed observatories would provide researchers with access to linked

sensing networks, data repositories, and computational tools connected

through high-performance computing and telecommunications networks.
Because of the magnitude of this envisioned network, NSF proposed that
the WATERS Network be built using funds from the Major Research
Equipment and Facilities Construction (MREFC) appropriation, which is
available to NSF to support the acquisition, construction, and upgrading
of major research equipment and facilities.
In 2006, NSF requested that the National Research Council (NRC)
Water Science and Technology Board convene a committee to provide
advice as the WATERS Network navigates the multiyear planning proc-
ess for MREFC funding. In 2006, a previous NRC committee consid-
ered potential research questions that the network might address (NRC,
2006). This current committee, formed in 2007, was tasked to review the
WATERS draft conceptual design and its science plan and provide ad-

vice on integrating the WATERS Network with other related observa-

tional systems (see statement of task in Box 1-1). The committee previ-
ously authored two reports: (1) an interim report that evaluated the Draft
Science, Education, and Design Strategy for the WATERS Network
(Task #1; NRC, 2008) and (2) a letter report issued in July 2009 that
summarized the committee’s assessment of whether the Science Plan
“sets forth a vision of what could be accomplished with an observing
network to transform water science and engineering research and educa-
tion” and “whether the Science Plan makes a compelling case for estab-
lishing the WATERS Network with Major Research and Facilities Con-
struction (MREFC) funding” (Task #2; NRC, 2009). This report, the
committee’s final, provides a more detailed review of the Science Plan
(Task #2) and provides advice on collaborating with other federal agen-
cies (Task #3).

ASSESSMENT OF THE SCIENCE PLAN

The Science Plan was intended as a broad vision document, and

in this light, the document succeeds in communicating a high-level
vision for transforming water science and engineering research
through the establishment of an observatory network. The plan out-
lines the opportunity to collect, analyze, and integrate hydrologic, envi-
ronmental science and engineering, and social science data at a level that
has not previously been possible. Overall, the committee finds that the
presentation of the overarching science question and the three grand
challenges in hydrology, engineering, and social sciences provides com-

pelling arguments in support of the WATERS Network.

The integration of social sciences with engineering and hydrol-
ogy is a key benefit of the WATERS Network. The committee com-
mends the WATERS team for its efforts to bring together the community
of researchers and encourages the team to continue to nurture the integra-
tion of multiple disciplines.
While the Science Plan makes a convincing case that the WATERS
Network will likely lead to strong, transformative science in its individ-
ual pieces, it is not clear that a collection of such pieces will meet the
MREFC criterion that the WATERS Network will “exhibit systems
characteristics greater than inferred simply by the connectivity of its
parts” (NSF, 2005). Each of the three hypothetical examples of regional,
theme-based science in the Science Plan (i.e., snow hydrology, eutrophi-
cation of estuaries, and urban water systems) illustrates how our under-

 Summary 3

standing of particular issues could be significantly advanced. However,

there do not appear to be clearly articulated, compelling questions or hy-
potheses in the Science Plan that require integration across individual
observatories at the same time. The document also does not explain
clearly why any of the three major questions cannot be approached re-
gionally and, in fact, why some current efforts are not addressing the sci-
ence questions, at least in part. As the WATERS team goes forward, it
should bolster its case that a national network of observatories is re-
quired to address the science questions that are posed. The committee
believes that such a case can be made, especially with a strong social
science component as part of the interdisciplinary water science network.
However, the persuasiveness of the argument for WATERS as a unified
facility also requires a strong case for the scientific and engineering
knowledge to be gained from a national network. Alternatively, a dif-
ferent funding mechanism within NSF might be considered, if feasi-
ble, for establishing a phased network of observatories that could
address the questions posed in the WATERS Science Plan while tak-
ing better advantage of advances in technology over time.
The committee finds the high-level vision for science to be well done
in the Science Plan, but as the WATERS Network moves ahead through
conceptual design phase, a much more detailed “science plan” will need
to be developed in parallel with the design. Additional development and
refinement of the Science Plan will be needed in the future to make sure
that the necessary coordination between the desired science and the fea-
sibility of network construction is accomplished. That is, the natural pro-
gression from high-level vision to detailed description of scientific objec-

tives will have to occur. In support of this anticipated need, the commit-
tee in Chapter 2 offers some guidance with regard to cyberinfrastruc-
ture—a critical element of the WATERS Network to link the local ob-
servatories and to enable multiscale and networkwide analyses by a wide
array of researchers. Additionally, issues to be considered in the devel-
opment of a network of observatories, including factors that facilitate
intersite comparisons, are discussed in Chapter 3.

INTEGRATION AND COORDINATION

The WATERS Network could serve as a catalyst for bringing

agencies together to contribute to a broader integrated agenda. De-
scriptions of federal and state agency water-related activities tend to pro-
vide a picture of projects that are compartmentalized and directed by

Review of the WATERS Network Science Plan, National Academies Press, 2010. ProQuest Ebook Central,
 4 Review of the WATERS Network Science Plan

agency mandates and authorities. Given the breadth of the WATERS

agenda, the program will gain from interactions with these diverse
agency programs. Interagency collaboration could entail at least four
possible levels of coordination: (1) interaction among researchers so that
the WATERS Network team stays abreast of the objectives and findings
of related programs and can learn from the experience of agency staff
working at similar large-scale data collection and management projects,
(2) development of policies for sharing data collected through independ-
ent initiatives, (3) coordination of future data acquisition plans, and (4)
development of cyberinfrastructure for data sharing and other collabora-
tive activities. Many possible benefits from improved coordination and
integration have been summarized in Chapter 5. The degree of coordina-
tion that can reasonably be achieved, however, may depend upon the
data sharing and cyberinfrastructure challenges encountered, as discussed
in Chapter 2.
To enhance coordination and integration, the WATERS team
should involve appropriate federal agencies, state and local govern-
ments, organizations, and international programs at an early stage.
Interactions and relationships that are developed in a coordinated and
planned way will have more impact than ad hoc opportunism by individ-
ual scientists.

OVERARCHING CONCLUSIONS

The WATERS Network Science Plan outlines a compelling vision

for ways in which new, integrative hydrologic, environmental science

and engineering, and social science research can help address pressing
water management concerns while advancing water science and educa-
tion. The argument for construction of a simultaneously operated na-
tional observatory network with funding from the MREFC program is
not as convincing in the Science Plan, and the WATERS team should
consider whether the case for a national network can be strengthened or
whether another funding mechanism can be considered. Many design
challenges remain to be addressed in future planning efforts, including
selecting observatory sites, determining second-level research questions,
and developing a cyberinfrastructure plan. As the details of the WA-
TERS Network evolve, the Science Plan should be developed and re-
fined in parallel. To optimize the potential contributions of the WA-
TERS Network, the team should coordinate and collaborate with related

Introduction

One of the most critical issues facing the United States today is the
proper management of our water resources. Water availability and qual-
ity are changing due to increasing population, urbanization, and land use
and climate change. Despite the fact that overall water use in the United
States has remained relatively constant since about 1980 (Hutson et al.,
2004), shortages in water supply have been increasing in frequency in
many parts of the country, in part because of population increases in
coastal and arid to semiarid areas. Water quality is a concern in many of
the nation’s waters due to excess levels of nutrients, toxics, pathogens,
and contaminants from a variety of household products.1 As a society, if
we are to meet current and future demands for water, we must learn to
manage our valuable water resources more effectively.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has entertained the Water
and Environmental Research Systems (WATERS) Network as one pos-
sible initiative whereby NSF could provide the advances in the basic sci-

ence needed to respond effectively to the challenge of managing water

resources. The WATERS Network is one of several national observatory
networks being planned under NSF sponsorship2 that are designed to col-
lect and integrate the necessary data over the appropriate spatial and
temporal scales to help scientists, engineers, and managers better under-
stand, model, and forecast environmental processes. The WATERS
Network is the result of a 2005 merger of two environmental observatory
initiatives: the Collaborative Large-scale Engineering Analysis Network
for Environmental Research (CLEANER) and the Consortium of Univer-
