Water UCI Receives $1.39M Grant for US-China Water Quality Research on Runoff Pollution
Water UCI has secured a $1.39 million grant from the Cyrus Tang Foundation for a three-year project addressing agricultural and urban runoff pollution in the US and China. This follows a $1 million grant in 2023 for a wastewater treatment project. The new research will focus on severe contamination in regions like Taihu Lake and the Yangtze delta, applying policy analysis frameworks to manage diffuse pollution sources. A joint US-China workshop will facilitate knowledge exchange.
Theia Market Signal Identification - AI Assisted
Water UCI has been awarded $1.39 million by the Cyrus Tang Foundation for a three-year research initiative targeting agricultural and urban runoff pollution in the US and China. This funding follows a previous $1 million grant for a project on disinfection byproducts in wastewater treatment.
The new study will address severe contamination in regions such as Taihu Lake and the Yangtze delta, focusing on nutrient runoff that causes environmental damage. Researchers will employ decision-support frameworks and AI tools to manage diffuse pollution sources. Key stakeholders will include officials from affected regions in both countries, and a joint workshop is planned for knowledge exchange.
