The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded the University of Delaware $524,630 on September 1, 2026, to develop an artificial intelligence and machine learning-accelerated decision framework for evaluating and optimizing decentralized stormwater management portfolios under changing environmental conditions. The project, funded under the CAREER program (NSF Engineering, CFDA 47.041), addresses stormwater systems strained by heavier storms, tidal backwater, rising groundwater, and aging infrastructure. The research develops metrics for physical resilience—including system capacity, adaptability, and recovery—and for service reliability across neighborhoods under combinations of rainfall, tides, sea level rise, and elevated groundwater. The framework integrates stakeholder surveys, behavioral choice experiments, agent-based modeling, and optimization to evaluate when and why community priorities shift regarding decentralized gray and green measures such as rain gardens, permeable surfaces, and small detention facilities. Educational activities train students and practitioners in hydrologic modeling, data science, responsible AI/ML use, digital twins, and community-informed infrastructure planning. The award runs through August 31, 2031, with place of performance at Newark, Delaware.
