Opportunity Information: Apply for W81EWF 25 SOI 0014
This government grant opportunity focuses on understanding water quality trends and sediment transport in rivers feeding into and out of reservoirs managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Southwestern Division (also known as SPA), across New Mexico and southern Colorado. The project spans 11 long-term, high-frequency monitoring stations placed above and below key reservoirs such as Conchas, Santa Rosa, Abiquiu, Cochiti, and others located on major river systems like the Rio Grande, Pecos River, Canadian River, and Arkansas River.
The main goals of the initiative are to:
1. Collect and publicly share continuous, real-time water quality data (temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity) using advanced sensors. 2. Analyze episodic, seasonal, and long-term shifts in water quality, especially in relation to environmental events like droughts, floods, wildfires, and pollution. 3. Use turbidity and streamflow data to estimate suspended sediment concentrations and loads moving into and out of reservoirs. 4. Apply machine learning models to detect patterns in water quality data and better understand the drivers of sediment loading. 5. Document and share findings through scientific reports and peer-reviewed publications.
To achieve these goals, the selected vendor must have expertise in deploying and managing high-frequency sensor networks under diverse field conditions, especially in high-sediment rivers typical of the southwestern U.S. They are also expected to be skilled in data analysis software like Aquarius Time-Series and experienced in publishing scientific findings.
Data will be collected using YSI Sondes, maintained according to USGS standards, and analyzed in line with approved procedures. All results will be made publicly accessible via HydroShare and will adhere to open data principles (FAIR). The grant also supports the development of long-term, cost-effective methods to monitor sediment using turbidity as a surrogate, a critical capability given budgetary and technical limitations that have reduced the national sediment gaging network.
By combining sensor data, manual sampling, and modern analytics, the project aims to enhance understanding of how reservoirs are influenced by upstream water and sediment conditions and surrounding disturbances. The final deliverables include yearly reports and published studies that inform reservoir management, water planning, and environmental policy.
