This $249,993 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to develop a semi-quantitative conceptual model examining the relationship between urban sewer infrastructure and dissolved solute loads in urban streams. The project will collect longitudinal data on stream baseflow chemistry, groundwater levels, and sewer infrastructure characteristics in the Atlanta metropolitan area. This research aims to produce new knowledge to help urban watershed managers make informed decisions about sewer rehabilitation to mitigate water quality impacts. The award also includes support for STEM education and training opportunities for students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, through research internships and program collaborations with the Atlanta Public Schools. The project period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
