Water-related decisions will determine the future of major ecosystems, the health of regional economies, and the political stability of nations. A vigorous program of research in hydrologic sciences can provide the basis for sound water management at local, regional, national, and international levels. The Committee on Hydrologic Science was established by the National Research Council in 1999 to identify priorities for hydrologic science that will ensure its vitality as a scientific discipline in service of societal needs. This charge will be performed principally through a series of studies that provide scientific advice on the hydrologic aspects of national program and U.S. hydrologic contributions to international programs. This first report contains a preliminary assessment of the hydrologic science content of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). Because this is a short and focused report, little effort is spent to reaffirm the established and successful elements of the USGCRP. In fact, the Committee generally endorses the findings of the National Research Council (NRC) report Global Environmental Change: Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1998a; the so-called Pathways report) in this respect. Instead the attention here is directed toward the most critical missing hydrologic science elements in the FY2000 USGCRP. This brings the focus to the terrestrial component of the water cycle. The integrative nature of terrestrial hydrology could significantly strengthen the USGCRP. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aHydrology$xResearch$zUnited States 615 0$aHydrology$xResearch 676 $a551.49/072073 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Hydrologic Science. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bWater Science and Technology Board. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970654903321 996 $aHydrologic science priorities for the U.S. Global Change Research Program$94362101 997 $aUNINA
