>> March 11 is the deadline for the U.S. Agriculture Department's
>>applications for innovative basic, applied and developmental research
to
>>assess, manage or improve the quality and nature of water
resources,
>>specifically in agricultural ecosystems. The USDA has allotted $15 for
>>natural resources and the environment, including water resources.
>> The USDA is interested in research to detect, quantify and
identify
>>potential agricultural contaminants from agricultural sources in surface
>>and groundwater. Projects could include development of field and
>>laboratory protocols as well as calibration and validation approaches
>>recommended by agricultural producers and users.
>> USDA is also looking for projects that develop management and
>>remediation practice to correct adverse effects of water pollutants of
>>agricultural origin.
>> Proposals may also involve developing new technologies to more
>>effectively reduce or eliminate the movement of agricultural chemicals
to
>>surface and groundwaters.
>> Researchers also may submit proposals dealing with social,
economic
>>and policy considerations related to agriculture/water resource risk
>>assessment and risk management practices. (10.206)
