"Once you carry your own water you will learn the value of every drop." - Unknown

Elaine J. Hanford's Bulletin Boards: 1) Geoscience; 2) Environmental Science; 3) Coastal Zone Management - 2 August 2021

Want to wrote a short article (800 - 1300/1500 words) in a conversational/non-technical style for the AWRA magazine Water Resources IMPACT? Here's the topic:

Water Risk Under a Rapidly Changing World - Evaluation & Adaptation 

Get more information here.

This special issue (to be published in late January 2022) will bring together articles from across the sector to discuss novel solutions that address urgent water risks in a changing world. 

Do you have an impactful story you would like to share? 

Submissions should: 

• be nontechnical to appeal to a broad audience 

• reflect the breadth of topics addressed in the AWRA Spring Conference 

• range between 800 and 1300/1500 words

All submissions should be Word .docx with JPEG or PNG graphics that the author is authorized to use. Captions should be included. Graphics can be embedded in the text or sent separately. Each author should include a bio-sketch not to exceed 75 words; an email address should be included.

Water risk is an ongoing concern due to rapid population growth, urbanization, increased frequency of extreme climate events, long-term trends in sea-level rise and melting glaciers, degraded landscapes, aging infrastructure, and unequitable access to clean drinking water. Here, the term “risk” is used in its broadest sense to reflect its multidimensional nature and includes both risks from disasters such as flooding, drought, landslides, and water scarcity, as well as those stemming from infrastructure failure and public health issues. It is imperative that water professionals and the community at large come together to collaborate and share cutting-edge solutions to evaluate and mitigate future risks. 

This special companion issue of Water Resources IMPACT magazine will bring together articles from across the sector to discuss novel solutions that address urgent water risks in a changing world - the theme of the 2022 Spring Conference. Articles should range between 800 and 1500 words, include non-technical content that appeals to a broad audience, and reflect the breadth of topics addressed at the conference. The articles are edited but non-refereed.

Co-editors are Charlotte Roehm and Michael E. Campana. Send M. Campana the following:

1) 13 September: ~150-word summary with title. We will advise you within one week of its suitability. You can also send a rough draft of the full article if you have one. You should get our okay before you do a rough draft.

2) 15 November - full article. 

Questions? Email M. Campana. You can also call M. Campana (541-602-4085 - Pacific time). Students' and young professionals' contributions are welcomed!

Enjoy!

Coming Soon! Climate Action and Support Transparency Training (CASTT) Adaptation Academy!

I scraped most the material below from the AGWA website.

This CASTT AA is about to start - my colleagues Erica Fleishman, Aaron Wolf and I will be leading OSU's participation. Our training partners will be IHE, AIT, KEI with the support of AGWA (John Matthews) and UNFCCC (Bhava Dhungana).

CASTT Adaptation Academy

UNFCCC Climate Action and Support Transparency Training

CASTT is a capacity-building program designed to cater to stakeholders at all levels of competencies within national climate governance and implementation. The CASTT Adaptation Academy is a program starting in 2021 providing multi-week training courses for national climate focal points and ministerial representatives — particularly those from developing countries. The Adaptation Academy is an official initiative of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) operated in collaboration with key academic and research institutions across the globe. Partners include the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA), Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Korea Environment Institute (KEI), and Oregon State University.

Advanced Training in Climate Adaptation and Reporting
The CASTT Adaptation Academy aims to enhance the ability of developing countries to conduct vulnerability and adaptation assessments, prepare and report, in timely manner, information resulting from such assessments and the implementation of national adaptation actions, including their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), for their national communications, biennial update reports, and biennial transparency reports under the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) arrangements of the Convention and the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement. The goal is to enable a systematic, generational stepchange in capacity to meet the ambitions of the Paris Agreement, its associated NDCs, and other climate commitments.

The 3 – 4 weeks training program focuses on imparting technical knowledge in the key components of the MRV and ETF frameworks, the exchange of views, lessons learned and experiences, and internalizing and mainstreaming climate change activities. Other major topics are anticipated to include planning, policy frameworks, coordination across ministries and governance levels, working with the private sector, finance and cost-benefit analyses, vulnerability and risk assessments, ecosystems, infrastructure, transboundary considerations, and social, gender, and cultural equity issues. Specific topics will also explore aspects relating to agriculture, DRR, energy, cities, coastal regions, and mountainous and high-elevation areas. In addition, the training will include components specifically tailored to regional climatic challenges of each node’s participants to put the broader lessons into more usable and practical contexts.

The Target Audience

The primary target will be professionals and experts from developing countries who are involved in providing technical and substantive input for the preparation of their country’s MRV arrangements and the transparency framework, with a specific focus on adaptation reporting.

Key Dates

The Adaptation Academy will launch its application process in August 2021. The first courses will take place in September and October 2021.

CRS Report: 'NASA Appropriations and Authorizations - A Fact Sheet'

Daniel Morgan assembled this brief CRS report (20 July 2021): NASA Appropriations and Authorizations: A Fact Sheet.

Download CRS_Report_NASA_App_Auth_Fact_Sheet_20July2021

Click on the graphics to enlarge them. The entire report is pasted here.

Overview
Congressional deliberations about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) often focus on the availability of funding. This fact sheet provides data on past and current NASA appropriations, as well as the President’s budget request for FY2022 and congressional action on FY2022 appropriations and authorizations of appropriations.

Table 1 shows budget authority for NASAfor FY2015-FY2021. Except where noted, the amounts shown include regular appropriations, supplemental appropriations, rescissions, transfers, and reprogramming. They are taken from NASA’s congressional budget justifications for FY2017-FY2022.1 Congressional budget justifications are available on the NASA budget website (http://www.nasa.gov/news/budget/) for the current year and for past years back to FY2002.

Table 2 shows FY2021 appropriations as enacted (before the transfers and reprogramming reflected in Table 1), the Administration’s request for FY2022, and FY2022 appropriations recommended by the House Committee on Appropriations (H.R. 4505 as reported and H.Rept. 117-97). Additional information will be added as Congress continues to act on FY2022 appropriations and authorizations. Note that the NASA Authorization Act of 2021 (S. 1260, Title VI, Subtitle B) does not include authorizations of appropriations for NASA for FY2022.

A note on name changes: In FY2019, the Education account was renamed as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Engagement. Since the FY2019 budget request, the Trump and Biden Administrations have proposed renaming the Exploration account as Deep Space Exploration Systems. Enacted appropriations have so far retained the name Exploration. The Trump Administration budget requests for FY2019-FY2021 also proposed new names for the Space Technology and Space Operations accounts. Enacted appropriations retained the current names, which are also used in the Biden Administration budget request for FY2022.

Figure 1 shows NASA’s total annual budget authority from the agency’s establishment in FY1958 to FY2021, in both current dollars and inflation-adjusted FY2021 dollars.

That's it!

Enjoy!

CRS Report: 'Energy and Water Development: FY2022 Appropriations'

Hot off the press - 28 July 2021! This CRS report is written by Mark Holt and Corrie E. Clark and covers two critical resources: 'Energy and Water Development: FY2022 Appropriations'. Lots of tables - eight for your viewing enjoyment!

Download CRS_Report_Energy_Water_Development_FY2022 Approp_28July2021

Click on the graphics to enlarge them.

The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill provides funding for civil works projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and Central Utah Project (CUP); the Department of Energy (DOE); the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC); and several other independent agencies. DOE typically accounts for about 80% of the bill’s funding.

Overall Funding Totals
President Biden formally submitted his FY2022 budget proposal to Congress on May 28, 2021. The budget requests for agencies included in the Energy and Water Development appropriations bill total $55.473 billion, excluding budget scorekeeping adjustments. This is $5.948 billion (12%) above the FY2021 enacted Energy and Water Development total of $49.525 billion. The House Appropriations Committee approved the FY2022 Energy and Water Development funding bill on July 16, 2021, by a 33-24 vote (H.R. 4549, H.Rept. 117-98). The bill is being combined in a “minibus” with six other appropriations bills (H.R. 4502) for House floor consideration scheduled to begin in late July.

Major Issues
The FY2022 budget request for agencies in the Energy and Water Development appropriations bill includes several major initiatives and issues that have attracted congressional attention. Some examples are noted below:

•   Congressionally Directed Funding for Water Projects. Congressionally directed funding for site-specific projects (community project funding) is being included in the FY2022 appropriations process, following an “earmark moratorium” during the 112th to the 116th Congresses.

•   Western Drought. As of early July 2021, 94% of the western United States was experiencing some level of drought. The Administration proposed additional funding for several Reclamation drought response-related activities, and some in Congress support additional funding for these purposes.

  Increased Funding Request for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. The Biden Administration is proposing a 65% increase in the DOE Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy appropriations account, following four years of steep reductions proposed by the Trump Administration.

Introduction and Overview
The Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies appropriations bill includes funding for civil works projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), in Title I; the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and Central Utah Project (CUP), in Title II; the Department of Energy (DOE), in Title III; and a number of independent agencies, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), in Title IV. Figure 1 compares the major components of the Energy and Water Development appropriations bill from FY2021 through FY2022.

President Biden formally submitted his FY2022 budget proposal to Congress on May 28, 2021.The total request for agencies included in the Energy and Water Development appropriations bill is $55.473 billion, excluding budget scorekeeping adjustments. This is $5.948 billion (12%) above the FY2021 enacted Energy and Water Development appropriations total of $49.525 billion. The House Appropriations Committee approved the FY2022 Energy and Water

Development appropriations bill on July 16, 2021 (H.R. 4549); the measure is to be included in a seven-bill “minibus” (H.R. 4502) scheduled for floor consideration in late July. 

FY2021 Energy and Water Development funding was provided by Division D of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), signed by President Trump on December 27, 2020. The enacted Energy and Water appropriations totaled $1.201 billion (2%) above the FY2020 enacted level, including rescissions.

There is much information on funding for the Western drought and major water and energy projects, with 8 tables for your information. Like this one:
