Research S-1063 USDA Multistate Hatch Project, USDAClimate change and expected increases in extreme storm events and other weather related events (e.g., drought, heat waves) may increase contamination risks to freshwater resources.Learn more Optimization of Riparian Zone Nitrogen and Phosphorus Management Through the Development of Riparian ModelRiparian zones are widely used as best management practices to mitigate the impact of agriculture on the quality of our waters.Learn more Scituate Reservoir Mitigation ModelThis project evaluates spillway management as the primary mitigation tool for flood. Spillway management has the potential to negatively impact Water Supply or (Safe Yield). Therefore, an integral part of this model and ...Learn more Floating Wetland to Remediate Water PollutionFloating Wetland units provides are used to improve the water quality and ecological health of polluted water in ponds, lakes or moving waters.Learn more Saltwater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers of Rhode IslandSaltwater intrusion has been identified as one of the important stressor on coastal water by RIDOH ...Learn more Occurrence and formation of Nitrosamines in Drinking WaterNitrogenous disinfection by products (N-DBPs) are emerging disinfection byproducts that may be present in source waters from upstream, ...Learn more UVC-LED Disinfection System: A pilot study to assess THMs precursors and pathogen removal on drinking waterHigh loads of natural organic matter (NOM) during stormwater events increase levels of toxic byproducts during disinfection,..Learn more Evaluating the effectiveness of improved roadside best management practices in maintaining storm water qualityMunicipalities and states are required to reduce pollutant levels in roadside runoff and mitigate effects on water quality through the implementation...Learn more Providing a new perspective on groundwater hydrometry using thermal infrared sensor equipped unmanned aerial vehicle The project is focused at understanding groundwater discharges into coastal ponds (coastal lagoons) through application of thermal infrared unmanned aerial vehicles... Learn more An Integrated Observational and Modeling Approach to Estimation of the Groundwater Contribution to the Water and Nutrient Budgets in Coastal Environments: Case Studies from Narragansett Bay and Southern RI Coastal LagoonsWe propose to quantify submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the southern Rhode Island coastal marine environment. We will use an interdisciplinary approach that combines direct sensing and chemical measurements of discharge with numeric modeling to assess the impacts of SGD on nutrient budgets and water quality.Learn more
