This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 - Engineering, provides $200,000 to Montclair State University to rapidly evaluate the resilience of small community water systems (CWS) in southwest Florida following Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. The project aims to advance understanding of hurricane resilience behaviors of these small CWS, which often lack the capacity to adapt to natural disasters due to limited resources. Through surveys, site visits, and a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Cornell University to develop a convergence framework for expediting the deployment of sustainable and resilient water systems in small and very small communities (serving less than 10,000 people). The 1-year project will focus on Puerto Rico as a case study, bringing together diverse stakeholders to address key challenges in water infrastructure,...
