The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2021 under the Engineering (47.041) program, will fund the development of game theoretic models and equilibrium programming approaches to better manage water distribution...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography for the "ADVANCED WATER RESILIENCE THROUGH COLLABORATIVE OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES IN THE SOUTHWEST INCUBATOR (AWRCOS INCUBATOR)" project. This 2-year effort focuses on improving water management in California's San Joaquin Valley by developing practical solutions that combine modeling, water...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,800,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Davis. The purpose of this grant is to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and equitable access to safe and reliable drinking water in agriculture-intensive regions facing increasing water scarcity and climate variability,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $300,000 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate how new technologies for water resource extraction, such as membrane-based filtration and retrofittable fermenters, can address anticipated challenges of water scarcity and resource insecurity. The project aims to develop conceptual tools for understanding resource extraction in a...
- This $199,400 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to augment continuous data assimilation and perform equation discovery with applications in geophysics. The research aims to develop more accurate predictive models for complex systems like weather, ocean currents, and groundwater flow by systematically adapting and modifying existing physically derived models using...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program has awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to develop new mathematical tools for designing efficient and equitable water markets to support sustainable groundwater management in drought-affected regions. The 3-year project will establish a mathematical framework for studying groundwater rights pricing and allocation as a non-cooperative game between economic agents, while also characterizing optimal water rights distribution strategies from a central planner's perspective. The research aims to provide regulatory agencies with computational models and pricing mechanisms to implement policies that conserve groundwater resources and ensure fair water rights distribution, supporting climate change adaptation efforts in drought-prone areas. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
