Houser hydrometdss@comcast.net D. Matthews M. Brilly Center for Research on Environment and Water & George Mason University, Calverton, MD 20705, USA Hydromet DSS, LLC, Silverthorne, CO 80498-1848, USA FGG University of Ljubljana, Slovenia This paper provides an over view of a new international network of researchers, stakeholders, and end-users of remote sensing tools that will benefit the water resources management community. It discusses the concept of solutions networks focusing on the WaterNet and it invites EGU teams to join the in the initial stages of our WaterNet network. The NASA Water cycle Solutions Network's goal is to improve and optimize the sustained ability of water cycle researchers, stakeholders, organizations and networks to interact, identify, harness, and extend NASA research results to augment decision support tools and meet national and international needs. This paper seeks to invite EU scientific teams and water resource management teams to join our WaterNet Solutions Network. \bf Relevant web pages: CUAHSI – http://www.cuahsi.org (The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.).
