The USGS was scheduled to provide in-person surface-water training for NWARA during 2020; however, travel was halted because of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID\u201319) pandemic. The virtual training consisted of prerecorded and live presentations that were scheduled during 4 weeks in August 2021. However, the training was halted after the second week due to the collapse of the Afghan Government. Fortunately, the prerecorded presentations and training materials were delivered before the trainings were halted, so they can be viewed or shared by the participants in the future. A benefit to having produced prerecorded trainings is that USGS can leverage or adapt the trainings for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in humanitarian water relief efforts in Afghanistan or can be used for other international training efforts.", "description": "2 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Mack, Thomas J. tjmack@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Thomas J.", "familyName": "Mack", "email": "tjmack@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-0496-3918", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0496-3918"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "NH/VT office of New England Water Science Center"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "New England Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/new-england-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Neal, Logan W. loganneal@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Logan W.", "familyName": "Neal", "email": "loganneal@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-0285-1330", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0285-1330"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Densmore, Brenda K. bdensmore@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Brenda K.", "familyName": "Densmore", "email": "bdensmore@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-2429-638X", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2429-638X"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Valder, Joshua F.", "givenName": "Joshua F.", "familyName": "Valder", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-3733-8868", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3733-8868"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Dakota Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/dakota-water"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Groten, Joel T. jgroten@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Joel T.", "familyName": "Groten", "email": "jgroten@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-0441-8442", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0441-8442"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Upper Midwest Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Minnesota Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Krahulik, Justin jkrahuli@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Justin", "familyName": "Krahulik", "email": "jkrahuli@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-0917-9468", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0917-9468"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Minnesota Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Nebraska Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nebraska-water-science-center"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Dakota Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/dakota-water"}, {"@type": "Organization", "name": "Upper Midwest Water Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/upper-midwest-water-science-center"}]}
