This $113,389 National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund research at the University of Alabama from February 2022 to January 2025 to develop integrated drought management strategies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The research team will evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of droughts on agricultural and urban communities under current water management practices. They will also develop and assess alternative drought...
This $420,167 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Virginia to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The goal is to evaluate potential economic, environmental and social impacts of droughts under current water management practices versus forecast-informed coordination of water markets and critical infrastructure operations. The research team will analyze impacts using regression models and develop an...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $148,732 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to create a new model for improving water sustainability under extreme droughts. The project will quantify the drought-water security relationship and apply the approach to improve decision-making using seasonal forecasts and stakeholder information. The model results will be distributed to user groups currently coping...
This $220,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop new mathematical tools and computational methods for designing efficient and fair water markets. The project aims to address challenges in the sustainable and equitable management of groundwater resources, which is critical for climate change adaptation in drought-affected regions. The research will...
This $1,800,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and equitable access to safe drinking water. The research will integrate political and institutional feedback into simulation models to inform...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $755,416.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The objective is to develop and implement a "digital water management system" that enhances coordination among dam operators to optimize water flow and improve ecological outcomes within a watershed. The key research objectives are: 1) investigating the role of social capital in decision-making...
This $620,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports South Dakota State University in developing a scalable decision support tool (S-DST) for equitable water resource allocation and drought mitigation in the Missouri River Basin. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: (1) analyzing climate change projections to assess drought risks, (2)...
This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
This two-year, $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at California State University, Long Beach to advance understanding of drought characteristics in snowy regions. The grantee will investigate the propagation of different types of drought across water cycle components, with a focus on snowpack-dependent areas in the western U.S. The research aims to quantify the rates at which droughts spread between snow,...
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...
