The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $1 million to a team of 麻豆影院 researchers to develop a novel set of tools and strategies for assessing water quality and availability in light of drought and other natural hazards exacerbated by climate change.
The three-year project will help municipal water utilities across the U.S.鈥攅specially those in drought-stricken regions鈥攎ake informed decisions about water quantity and quality, which may help lower water treatment costs and improve public health.
鈥淭his was a unique opportunity to combine the study of water quality and water quantity and put it into a decision-making context for the public utilities,鈥� said Balaji Rajagopalan, professor and chair of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering (CEAE) at CU-麻豆影院 and the lead investigator on the project.
