This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $550,000 to develop a new monitoring system for more accurately measuring river and stream flow. The project aims to address inaccuracies in traditional flow monitoring methods by employing advanced instruments and communication technology to capture a broader, more precise picture of stream flow conditions. The enhanced monitoring system is...
This $2,646,047 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is developing a national integrated watershed evaluation framework to improve water resource management. The framework will bring together diverse hydrologic datasets and provide tools for advanced model evaluation and exploration of watershed conditions. The project, led by Princeton University, will engage a diverse community...
This $403,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve streamflow monitoring and forecasting methods. The University of Iowa will enhance protocols for continuously monitoring streamflows to more accurately capture effects of flood wave propagation and seasonal riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to enable real-time estimation and forecasting of streamflow...
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 $499,943 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to build sustainable open science communities in the hydrology, oceans, and seismology disciplines. The project's key objectives are to: Develop community-vetted, discipline-specific data sharing frameworks and a web platform to implement them. Cultivate disciplinary leaders and liaisons to help sustain the data sharing frameworks. Capture the community practices to inform future use...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $485,717 Project Grant under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The grant, awarded on June 11, 2025, supports the development of an AI-driven platform to enhance water resource management capabilities across the United States, with a focus on Iowa as a case study. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: Integration of...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...
This $1,143,430 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is developing a National Integrated Watershed Evaluation Framework to improve water resource management across the United States. The University of Arizona is the prime awardee, with no planned sub-awards. The framework will integrate diverse hydrologic datasets, from ground-based observations to remote sensing, to provide a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Virginia. The grant supports the development of new physics-guided graph network models to capture complex, non-stationary, and poorly observed water dynamics in freshwater ecosystems. Key innovations include new graph-based architectures, continual learning strategies, and model initialization methods that leverage...
