This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop cost- and energy-efficient brine treatment technologies that enable decarbonized brackish water desalination (BWD) for climate-adaptive water supply. The $1,235,696 award to Arizona State University will fund interdisciplinary research that integrates fundamental interfacial processes and thermal transport to achieve a solar-driven zero liquid discharge (ZLD)...

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $235,400 Cooperative Agreement under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506) to Mickley & Associates LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to identify and gather detailed information on 50-70 U.S. municipal desalination facilities built since 2017 or planned through 2025. The project will document the facilities' concentrate disposal practices, treatment processes, source water,...

This $2,975,302 federal Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 under the CFDA 66.126 "Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund" program, is to transform a 6.9-acre wastewater storage basin into a multi-purpose freshwater treatment wetland. The project aims to reduce nitrogen discharges from the City of San Leandro's Water Pollution Control Plant by 20% and help mitigate emerging contaminants. Key activities...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 awarded a $5,826,000 Project Grant to the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126). The 4-year project aims to: (1) develop strategies to increase beneficial reuse of up to 45,000 tons of flood control channel sediment for habitat restoration; (2) implement pilot projects to restore several acres of tidal marsh and creek habitat; (3) develop visions...

This $4,142,968 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126) supports a collaborative effort led by the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) and the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) to accelerate the implementation of nature-based shoreline adaptation solutions in the San Francisco Bay. The key activities funded through this grant include: 1) Developing a...

This $499,995 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under CFDA Program 47.041 - Engineering, aims to develop an integrated treatment system to remove, reduce, and detoxify selenium contamination in wastewater. The principal investigators at the University of Alabama will test the integration of a flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) ion separation process with a bioelectrochemical...

This $1,500,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 to the California State Coastal Conservancy (CSCC) aims to advance living shoreline projects in San Francisco Bay. The project is funded through the EPA's Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126), which supports efforts to improve water quality and restore aquatic habitats in the San Francisco Bay region. The project will accomplish the following...
