NSF awards $12 million to establish urban water sustainability research network

Author:

This is from a press release from the University of Miami.

A consortium of 14 U.S. academic institutions received a $12-million award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to address challenges that threaten urban water systems in the United States and around the world  to help establish the Urban Water Innovation Network (UWIN).

UWIN aims to create a research network for integrated water systems and to cultivate champions of innovation for water-sensitive urban design and resilient cities, CSU said.

The network will establish six connected regional urban water sustainability hubs in densely populated regions to serve as innovation centers, helping communities transition to sustainable management of their water resources.

For more information, contact UWIN coordinator Meagan Smith at[email protected].
