The authors should draw on the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II reports regarding climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, which include a report specifically on water resources. In revising the document, it might be worthwhile to do a quick literature search on each of the major topics, especially as they relate to water resource management (knowledge-action networks, equity implications, framing, etc.)

These parts of the report lead to recommendations to invest in improving networks. The thrust of these two parts of the report are in somewhat inconsistent directions; moreover, it is the sections emphasizing networks that are more consistent with the language in the Executive Summary.

The tasks of determining which forms of scientific output are needed, and more generally of identifying and meeting decision makers' information needs, may be performed in part by continuing discussions in groups involving producers and users of climate information, along with intermediaries or information integrators working in such programs as the Regional Integrated Science Applications Program and the Sector Applications Research Program, both recently established by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. These are logical entities to coordinate the different actors that must interact to generate and disseminate appropriate sets of end-to-end decision-support products for particular sectors in their respective regions.

These data needs, which have been identified in numerous previous studies (e.g., National Research Council, 1999a, 2000, 2004a; Trenberth et al., 2002) , include maintenance of stream gauges and adequacy of observation coverage in situ in mountainous regions of the Western United States where climatic variables most directly affect water supply.
