This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $550,000 to The University of Iowa to develop an advanced system for monitoring streamflow in rivers and streams. The project aims to introduce a new monitoring solution that is safer, more efficient, and more precise than traditional methods, enhancing the understanding of river systems and providing better data for decision-making in water management and flood mitigation efforts. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on simplistic models, this technology uses physical principles and advanced instruments to deliver more accurate measurements across a broader area of a river, improving forecasting accuracy and hazard prediction. This 24-month project, commencing in May 2025, is expected to have commercial potential, offering benefits to federal, local, and private sector organizations involved in water resource management.
