2 GEO Water: A series of tasks to bring the outputs from water cycle observational, analysis and production to support better water management decisions. Assets: 1. The GEO framework provides a opportunity to advance the goals of a number of groups working in the area of water and the water cycle. 2. Water us becoming a widely recognized critical resource that may underlie a truly global crisis. 3. Within the water community there is a great need for IGWCO COP s ability to provide coordination and brokerage services among investigators and programs. Liabilities: It is a volunteer effort that relies on best efforts of countries, agencies, and individuals. As a result program gaps occur and communications to the public do not fully portray the scope of the effort.
3 The Primary Framework: GEOSS: A Global, Coordinated, Comprehensive and Sustained System of Observing Systems Relevant Facts: Involves ~80 nations and ~50 international organizations who have agreed to work together to build the GEOSS. Coordinated by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) which implements the GEOSS work plan through the best efforts of its community. Targets Tasks Sub Tasks The Water Target By 2015, produce comprehensive sets of data, information products and services to support decision making for efficient management of the world's water resources, based on coordinated, sustained observations of the water cycle on multiple scales.

9 IGWCO and CEOS Virtual Constellations Constellation for Atmospheric Composition (ACC) Constellation for Land Surface Imaging (LSI) Constellation for Ocean Colour Radiometry (OCR) To collect and deliver data to improve monitoring, assessment, and predictive capabilities for changes in ozone, air quality, and climate. Constellation for Ocean Surface Topography (OST) To determine optimal capabilities to acquire, receive, process, archive, and distribute land surface image data to the global user community. Constellation for Ocean Surface Vector Wind (OSVW) To provide long time series of calibrated ocean colour radiance (OCR) at key wavelength bands from measurements obtained from multiple satellites. A working group has been established to explore the potential for a water cycle constellation under CEOS. This concept could be Introduced at an upcoming CEOS if it progresses quickly enough. Constellation for Precipitation (PC) The implementation of a sustained, systematic capability to observe the topography of the surface of the global oceans ranging from basin scale to mesoscale. Promote the widespread use of scatterometer derived surface vector winds (SVW) and altimeterderived significant wave heights (SWH) in operational marine analyses and forecasts worldwide, as a contribution to the protection of life and property at sea. The 23 rd CEOS Plenary I Phuket, Thailand I 3 5 November 2009 To guide, facilitate, and coordinate continued advancements of multi satellite global precipitation missions. 9

20 USER NEEDS SURVEY FOR WATER CYCLE DATA GEO (WC CoP) and NASA are in the final stages of finalizing a report on the needs of water resource managers for water cycle information. This report summarizes the findings of earlier reports on a wide range of water cycle variables related to: (1) Surface Waters, Fluxes, and Processes: (2) Ground Water (Including Recharge/Discharge & Regolith Processes) (3) Forcing Elements (e.g., Surface Meteorology, Surface Radiation Budgets and Clouds (4) Water Quality and Water Use
21 Summary: The IGWOC activity has provided a framework for developing and advancing GEO Water. The progress has been satisfactory, although Uneven in some areas. AWCI continues to play an important role in GEO Water and IGWCO. 1) How would Asian Water Activities like to be portrayed in GEO Water (AWCI Yes, DIAS Yes, Others?) 2. How can IGWCO contribute in linking Asian Water activities to global water activities and to other regional activities?
