Description:The University of Colorado's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and associated NOAA laboratories in Boulder propose to create a new interdisciplinary research initiative designed to provide information on the water cycle that will be useful in water management and water resource planning. The focus of this Western Water Initiative will be on a portion of the western U.S. that is defined by commonalities of climate, hydrology, and water use. The region of interest, which can be designated here as the Interior West, is characterized by abundant montane precipitation that sustains surface flows across semi-arid plains where water is intensively managed for irrigated agriculture and other forms of economic development. This region encompasses the upper or upper-middle portions of the Missouri, Arkansas, Great Basin, Colorado, and Rio Grande drainages.
