Understanding how water quality is affected by human activities, climate change, and more.

The Water Quality Technical Committee is part of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union. We strive to promote all aspects of research pertaining to water quality and its relationship with society and the environment.

As we reflect on and celebrate 100 years of science at AGU, we have identified 3 key questions that span our charge from theoretical to actionable, from local to global, and from analysis to synthesis:

  1. What are the key emerging trends in environmental water quality and water quality assessment?

  2. How do changing landscape cover and connectivity, as well as changing climate and landscape legacies, impact these water quality trends?

  3. What tools and techniques are necessary to provide actionable inference about water quality improvement?

What do we do?
