Program Information

Program Name:
National Integrated Water Quality Program
Program URL:
http://www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/rfas/water_quality.html
Type of Scientists Funded:
Junior Faculty, Senior Scientist/Faculty
Program Description:
Impacts of bioenergy development on water use and water quality: All bioenergy systems need to be analyzed and compared comprehensively in regards to their water usage. Projects are expected to explore sustainable biofuel production and analyze environmental impacts generated from feedstock growth to biofuel production and delivery. We want to understand which crops are best suited for bioenergy production in a specific region and the impacts of land use change (resulting from bioenergy feedstock growth) on water resources. Successful projects also should develop appropriate training and educational materials for key target audiences that integrate water protection and management into biofuel production and processing.
