The project aims to develop a robust design...
- This $290,925 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to investigate the impacts of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) on the water balance in California's intensively managed Central Valley region. The research employs a hybrid modeling approach that integrates hydrologic models with machine learning to gain detailed insights into water movement through the regional aquifer system and how MAR expansion will...
- This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to enhance the resilience of groundwater resources in major U.S. agricultural regions through a participatory planning approach. The project team at Southern Illinois University, with sub-awards to Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska, will develop an AI-based modeling system to empower farming communities in addressing groundwater depletion and...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $397,498 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois, a U.S. state government institution, for the "EMBRACE-EAR-GROWTH: EVALUATING THE SCALE-DEPENDENT IMPACTS OF IRRIGATION AND WATER LIMITATIONS ON ECOHYDROLOGICAL FUNCTIONING OF URBAN LANDSCAPES" project. This 4-year and 6-month project, with a start date of February 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, aims to improve...
- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside). The project aims to develop a user-interactive approach to water management for sustainable data centers. Key objectives include: Designing a fair and accurate water accounting system to track water footprints at both the user and facility levels....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation awarded a $256,000 Project Grant to Drought Diet Products, doing business as Umida AG, located in Long Beach, California. The grant period runs from May 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022 and supports the "SBIR PHASE I: ORCHARD TRANSPIRATION IRRIGATION" project under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) federal grant program. The grant appears to fund the initial research and development phase of a new technology related to orchard...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA #47.084) program to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Office of Research Administration. The grant supports the development of a user-tailored irrigation water management decision-support hub focused on California's Central Valley. The project aims to provide individual growers with high-resolution, daily irrigation advice by integrating satellite remote sensing, weather forecasts, and soil/crop models. It will also offer water districts and regulators aggregated crop water demand and consumption data to support equitable regional water allocation decisions. As sub-awardees, Texas A&M AgriLife Research will integrate an economic model of farmer decision making, and the University of Nevada, Reno will provide detailed soil information to constrain the irrigation recommendations. The project expects to help mitigate groundwater depletion, enhance water use efficiency, lower irrigation costs, and contribute to regional water equity, with a planned completion date of February 2025.
