HI34A:
Advancing Water Quality Monitoring, Desalination, and Forecasting in Urban Coastal and Inland Waters II Posters


Session ID#: 11384

Session Description:
Water is an increasingly threatened resource, particularly the quality of coastal and inland waters due to population growth, urbanization and climate change.  Further, the interfacial nature of the urban coastal zone, bridging aquatic, terrestrial, atmospheric and anthropogenic domains, means they are significantly impacted by dynamic and complex processes.  Timely, accurate, and consistent scientific-based assessments, monitoring and forecasting of water quality are crucial across global, regional and local scales.  This session solicits contributions addressing the end-to-end value chain for urban coastal and inland water quality.  This includes new and improved physical, biogeochemical, and ecological observations and data (remote and in situ), model output with data assimilation and forecasts, and synergistic generation of fit for purpose water quality products and indicators to provide integrated information for water quality managers and other stakeholders.  In particular, developmental and operational activities that couple products and indicators (from observations, models etc.) across the land-water interface are solicited, as are information delivery systems and decision making tools to enhance user knowledge.  This session advances goals and objectives of the international Water Quality Summit held in 2015 by the Group for Earth Observations, particularly development of urban water quality monitoring and forecasting service(s) in developed and developing nations.
