Abstract: The United States is facing growing challenges related to the availability of water due to shifting demographics, aging water delivery infrastructure, and the impacts of climate change, which include flood and drought. Working with incomplete knowledge, managers must consider the needs of various demographic groups and economic sectors when making management decisions as well as when responding to emergencies. We will collect information regarding the decision-making process, data and data format needs to support daily, long-term, and emergency response decision-making. Information will also be sought on the resiliency of water resource management institutions. A lack of resiliency within water institutions can lead to poor decision-making and outcomes that produce conflict between water use sectors, states, or communities and ultimately may led to crisis. This information will support the delivery of appropriate data, in appropriate formats, at the right time for decision-making and emergency response as well as how water resource institutions can be more resilient in the face of the many water resources challenges the nation currently faces.
