Researchers at the University of Kansas School of Engineering are set to begin a two-year project aimed at creating models using projected climates to help state officials better allocate water.
The idea came a few years ago when Josh Roundy, associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering at KU, met with a representative from the Kansas Water Office and together realized the need for more in-depth models depicting water availability in different climate scenarios.
A proposal was drawn up and eventually chosen to receive funding from the Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART grant with additional funds from KU and the KWO.
The proposed
