This Project Grant award, totaling $499,681.45, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The project aims to quantify and project the water budget across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) using a hierarchical modeling framework. Key objectives include: Quantifying water budget components by leveraging hydrological experiments, applying machine learning algorithms to inform soil properties, and employing...
This $416,267 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports a 3-year research project at Indiana University Bloomington. The project aims to enhance understanding of how changes in hourly rainfall patterns affect historical and future runoff across the continental United States. Key activities include evaluating high-resolution precipitation datasets, investigating the relationship between...
This $621,463 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes (CFDA 15.805) program aims to improve national-scale estimates of poorly constrained water budget components. The award to Oregon State University (OSU) will leverage precipitation stable isotope data and hydrologic models to diagnose biases in evaporation and transpiration fluxes within advanced operational models. The project will focus on four...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...
This $403,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve streamflow monitoring and forecasting methods. The University of Iowa will enhance protocols for continuously monitoring streamflows to more accurately capture effects of flood wave propagation and seasonal riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to enable real-time estimation and forecasting of streamflow...
This $2,646,047 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is developing a national integrated watershed evaluation framework to improve water resource management. The framework will bring together diverse hydrologic datasets and provide tools for advanced model evaluation and exploration of watershed conditions. The project, led by Princeton University, will engage a diverse community...
