Center of Innovation
The Center enhances our capacity to identify water management solutions to meet the increasing demand for water under changing climate and land use trajectories.
The Water Sustainability & Climate (WSC) Center was created to develop modeling and analysis capacities to find optimal solutions for sustainable water management at the regional scale under projected future climate, land-use, and energy scenarios.
Focus Areas
Our goal is to identify water management solutions that are socially viable, economically feasible, and environmentally effective to meet the increasing demand for water under changing climate and land use. The South Platte River Basin is the study area for analysis and demonstration.
