The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is awarding over $3.9 million to the University of Texas at Austin (UT), to develop a center for sustainable water infrastructure modeling research.
The Center for Infrastructure Modeling and Management will use open source water infrastructure models while sharing green infrastructure tools and research with local communities and stakeholders. The center will also be open to the public, allowing for community engagement with individuals interested in water infrastructure modeling.
EPA and UT announced the project at an event in Austin held to raise awareness of water issues and potential solutions in the United States.
