Several presentations providing state-of-the-art developments in water cycle applications will be offered at the ESIP summer meeting. Mike Brewer will offer a brief overview of new developments with the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS).

One of the goals of ESIP, "making data matter," will be addressed from a practical point of view in this session. Two efforts are underway to attempt to harness and synthesize data collections to provide the capability to meet application needs. One of these efforts is the National Science Foundation-sponsored CUAHSI (Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science) and the other is the NASA-sponsored WaterNet project.

Michael Piasecki (Drexel) is being scheduled to offer a presentation on CUAHSI's approach; Will Pozzi and Balazs Fekete will offer a short presentation on the WaterNet approach. CUASHI is attempting to develop web services to access multiple agency data collections in order to integrate data to construct water budgets for Hydrological Observatories (and researchers). WaterNet is attempting to deploy Semantic Web smart query techniques to improve the ability to access and utilize multiple agency data collections.

The latter two presentations are designed to illustrate how these new systems will be nested with applications.
