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 with water sustainability issues in the Savannah River Basin, with the goal of enabling improved management of water resources during drought conditions and assisting federal agencies in forecasting vulnerability to water stress. The integrated model and approach will be tested in the Savannah River Basin and is anticipated to be extendable to other regions facing frequent drought threats to water security.
