Program element A.7 Water Quality Applications solicits proposals for decision-support tools that enhance inland and nearshore coastal water quality management using NASA Earth observation data in support of the goals of the NASA Earth Action Water Resources Program and the NASA Earth Science Division’s Earth Science to Action (ES2A) strategy. Solutions that address the following water quality challenges are of priority to the program element: 1) water pollution monitoring and management, 2) stormwater and wastewater management, 3) risk assessment and adaptation strategies, and 4) coordinated transboundary water quality management.
A.8 Water Resources Applications solicits proposals for decision-support tools for water resources management using NASA Earth observation data in support of the goals of the NASA Earth Action Water Resources Program and the NASA Earth Science Division’s Earth Science to Action (ES2A) strategy. While any water resources topics are welcome, priority will be given to:
- Drought Resilience and Water Scarcity Management;
- Integrated Water Infrastructure for Stormwater and Floodwater Management;
- Water System Risk Assessment and Adaptive Management;
- Sustainable and Efficient Water Use Across Sectors (Hydropower, Municipal Supply, and Irrigation); and
- Water Allocation, Optimization, and Transboundary Cooperation
ROSES-2025 Amendment 4 makes changes to both A.7 Water Quality Applications and A.8 Water Resources Applications. In both A.7 and A.8 the language describing the required involvement by end users in Section 1 was clarified and the range of starting ARLs in the Project Elements Section (4.2.1.3 for A.7 and 4.3.1.3 for A.8) was changed. In A.7 only, one of the factors for the evaluation of relevance was changed in Section 5.
New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through.
Due dates remain unchanged. Please refer to ROSES-25 Tables 2 and 3 for current due dates.
