'''[[Hydroinformatics]]''' is the multidisciplinary application of information and decision support systems to address the equitable and efficient management and use of water for many different purposes. Hydroinformatics draws on and integrates hydraulics, hydrology, environmental engineering, and many other disciplines. It sees application at all points in the water cycle, from atmosphere to ocean, and in artificial interventions in that cycle such as urban drainage and water supply systems. It provides support for decision making at all levels, from governance and policy through to management and operations.

Hydroinformatics also recogniszs the inherently social nature of the problems of water management and of decision making processes, and it includes mechanisms towards understanding the social processes by which technologies are brought into use and how they change the water system.

Water Stress Around 2000 A.D. By WaterGAP.jpg

A skilled nursing facility (SNF, pronounced like the English word "sniff"), as defined by the U.S. Social Security Act, is an institution or distinct part of an institution that provides skilled nursing care to residents or physical rehabilitation care to the injured, disabled, or ill. The skilled nursing facility is primarily a designation driven by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and its associated billing. To qualify, a SNF must meet certain requirements, including considerations for quality of life, scope, assessment, and training.

The Federal Nursing Home Reform Act in 1987 set new requirements for nursing facilities, including the SNF. These facilities would have to emphasize quality of life and care to residents, create and assess an individual's care plan, provide the right to remain in care even after a hospital stay and the right to choose a personal physician, provide additional opportunities to residents with mental retardation or illness, and function under minimum federal standards or face even stricter penalties.
