Abstract
The Long-Term Drought Resilience Federal Action Plan of the National Drought Resilience Partnership is a national sectoral action plan of the United States of America. Its main objective is to help build national drought-resilience capabilities.
More specifically, it aims to integrate existing data and information sources for regional-level use; enhance national data coverage; develop data models to identify populations at risk to the health effects of drought; study long-term drought impacts on critical infrastructure; create drought decision-support guides for critical-infrastructure stakeholders; coordinate planning and capacity-building programs; examine the ecological impacts of drought across the united states; strengthen rural drinking water contingency plans; support state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments; drive coordination and sharing of information related to federal investments in water infrastructure; extend best practices of coordinated federal water-resource programs; launch a prize competition or ideation challenge; manage federal assets to promote local drought resilience; enhance federal drought resilience investments at the watershed scale; explore innovative financing options for drought resilience; support state and local strategies for more flexible water management; disseminate information on water pricing and construction cost repayments; conduct research to optimize and improve agricultural water use; conduct research to optimize and improve energy-sector water use; conduct research to improve performance and reduce energy requirements and carbon emissions from water-treatment technologies; highlight resilience successes from the municipal sector; establish a soil health monitoring and enhancement network; develop municipal water-recycling technical assistance; and maximize use of existing diplomatic engagement structures to advance international drought- related research and collaboration.
