Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Desert Southwest CESU

The USGS is offering an opportunity to fund the research into identifying and evaluating environmental indicators and measures that are predictors of disease. The recipient will examine the relationships between water availability, quality and health indicators including pregnancy outcomes, gastrointestinal disease, parasitic disease, and morbidity and mortality of diarrhea particularly among the very young (children less than 6 years of age) and the elderly. This goal will be undertaken with input from the communities, by use of existing data to evaluate indicators and through the collection and analysis of new information to evaluate indicator stability. People, businesses, industry and society can thrive only if there is a dependable source of high quality water. Overuse of limited aquifers and recent drought threaten water availability and quality throughout Northern Sonora and Southern Arizona.
