This $650,000 Project Grant, awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA Program, aims to assess and forecast salinity levels, movement, and mitigation strategies in the semi-arid South Platte River Basin in Colorado. The key objectives are to: (1) quantify salinity concentrations, storage, and movement in soils, groundwater, and surface water; (2) forecast the impact of future climate, land use, and water...
This $527,360 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to support evidence-based policymaking for agricultural water conservation. The key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) collecting irrigation water rights and runoff data to create a geospatial database, 2) exploring the impact of water rights and supply uncertainty on...
The University of Oklahoma, through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to develop and test low-cost materials for the treatment of brackish water. The project aims to treat two model brackish water compositions from Texas and California, primarily focusing on the removal of chloride anions and sodium cations. The treatment methods involve adsorption to...
This $749,076 project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) will fund research and outreach focused on soil and water conservation in cotton cropping systems in the Central High Plains through January 2026. Oklahoma State University will establish field experiments comparing cotton production in rotation with corn, as continuous cotton and corn cropping systems. Kansas State University will execute...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $740,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Colorado State University (CSU) to develop and pilot an integrated software technology to help agricultural producers make smart irrigation water and nutrient management choices. The project aims to improve crop yield, conserve water, and enhance water quality by assimilating interconnected soil moisture,...
This $10 million Project Grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program (CFDA #10.310), will fund development of an integrated hydroponic controlled environment agriculture platform for sustainable cultivation of salt-tolerant food crops using saline irrigation water. Clemson University will lead pre-breeding of mustard greens, cucumber, and tomato varieties for salt tolerance, as well as...
This $249,742 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Portland State University to model the impacts of salt stress on coupled carbon and water dynamics in dryland critical zones. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting controlled greenhouse experiments and developing models to understand how factors like root/shoot water and salt storage, plant salt uptake, and...
The federal Project Grant award of $999,091 from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will support research to quantify field to basin-scale water needs and evaluate the conserved consumptive water use from previous water conservation investments in the Southwest and Southern Plains regions. The goal is to understand realistic water savings from conservation investments in these areas facing increasing droughts and...
Oregon State University received a $749,977 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program. The grant will fund development of a novel hybrid electrodialysis-forward osmosis process to concurrently recover nutrients and clean water from liquid digestate for safe crop irrigation and production. Key activities to be undertaken include comprehensive...
