- This $430,230 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a 3-year research project at the University of Arizona to develop the next generation of U.S. water accounting and natural capital accounting methods. The key products and services to be delivered include: Spatially disaggregating USGS water use datasets from 2000-2015 into a high-resolution 30-meter raster data product...
- The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $618,648 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to improve hydrological predictions across the continental United States through better characterization of below-ground soil-vegetation processes. The 3-year project aims to enhance water budget predictions by: 1) constraining root zone storage capacity, 2) improving modeling of plant hydraulic...
- This $527,360 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to support evidence-based policymaking for agricultural water conservation. The key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) collecting irrigation water rights and runoff data to create a geospatial database, 2) exploring the impact of water rights and supply uncertainty on...
- This $619,990 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) seeks to develop a comprehensive hydrologic modeling framework to enhance flood resilience and water resource management within the Willamette River Basin in Oregon. The project aims to leverage advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to integrate streamflow observations from the USGS Next...
- The US Geological Survey awarded a $496,922 project grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805). The grant will fund research from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to understand the drivers of interbasin water transfers and identify and mitigate future water conflicts. Through data analytics, input-output modeling, and agent-based modeling, the research will determine...
- The federal Project Grant award of $999,091 from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will support research to quantify field to basin-scale water needs and evaluate the conserved consumptive water use from previous water conservation investments in the Southwest and Southern Plains regions. The goal is to understand realistic water savings from conservation investments in these areas facing increasing droughts and...
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 advanced hydrological models. Characterizing uncertainties in hydroclimate forcing data and their impact on the water budget. Projecting future water budget components across watersheds using climate projections. The award was granted to Utah State University, a public land-grant research institution, to conduct this research over the 3-year project period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project outcome will advance fundamental knowledge on the U.S. water budget and provide useful insights for future water supply and availability assessments.
