This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), supports the development of a real-time, integrated catchment-reservoir forecasting system to predict drinking water quality. The $500,000 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) will create predictive models that couple terrestrial and freshwater ecosystem processes to forecast water quality one day to six months in advance. This will help water utilities mitigate the impacts of hazards like droughts, wildfires, and floods on drinking water supplies. The project also includes developing educational materials on forecasting and reservoir-catchment dynamics for high school and community college students. The award period is from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2029.
