Evolving a Solutions Network of Resource Conservation and Development Councils,
Watershed Management Teams, and NASA Research Institutions Across the Nation.
The North Olympic Peninsula (NOP) Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D)
proposes to evolve a Solutions Network of local, regional and national organizations
to provide watershed management teams with decision support through NASA-funded
Earth-Sun research results. The NOP-RC&D was selected to lead the project
because the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) administers
an existing network of 375 RC&Ds across the nation.
The NOP-RC&D and NRCS will work with the NASA-funded Pacific Northwest
Regional Collaboration to apply hydro-climatological research to improve
the scientific basis of local watershed decision making.
The Dungeness River watershed was selected as a demonstration site
for testing the proposed Solutions Network because local citizens pioneered
one of the states most cooperative, effective and integrated, water, ecosystem,
and agricultural management teams.
The performance of this local Solutions Network will be optimized and a blue print
for extending these activities and results broadly across the nation will be developed.
