Data Analysis in the Water and Environment

Water security is increasingly in jeopardy throughout the world. Too much water causing floods, too little water causing droughts, or poor water quality affecting health can endanger life, economy, and ecosystems. In order to detect, monitor, and mitigate these diverse problems in water and environment, we require actionable intelligence based on data. Data analysis is an important part of understanding the complex and multidimensional relationships between water systems and their surrounding environments. We investigate these relationships through a combination of science, engineering, and technology, which will help in discovering new information relevant to the impact of water and the environment on human life. The efficacy of our strategies in managing water resources, preserving aquatic life, combating pollution, and preparing for climate change rests on our ability to monitor, model, and mitigate various types of water hazards.
