Mulkey*, L. A. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S WATERSHED MANAGEMENT RESEARCH PROGRAM: AN OVERVIEW. Presented at U.S.-China Soil and Water Conservation Workshop, Beijing, China, 11/03-04/03.
Description:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has directed much attention to watersheds and water quality during its tenure as the United States Federal Agency charged with protection of human health and the environment. Watershed research as a vehicle to understand the interaction of the hydrologic cycle and human activities has enjoyed a vital and active role in EPA's tenure. The purpose of this paper is to briefly review our progress to date, to describe the EPA research agenda in this arena, and to suggest that the research community address four fundamental hypotheses both as individual ideas and as interdisciplinary studies.
