The US Geology Survey’s Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) is offering this grant to a CESU-affiliated partner. This funding opportunity targets research and development in innovative camera-based water monitoring technology. NGWOS seeks proposals integrating image analysis and artificial intelligence to create a comprehensive hardware and software system. No commercial solution currently meets the water monitoring community’s specific needs. The grant’s purpose is to develop a camera-based system scalable for a national network, directly advancing NGWOS’s mission to implement advanced monitoring technologies within the USGS and the broader water community.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geology Survey, Water Mission Area (WMA), Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research and development in the field of camera-based water monitoring technology. The application of camera-based monitoring methods that integrate image analysis and artificial intelligence techniques is of interest to NGWOS. A coordinated system of hardware and software is needed but nothing exists commercially that meets the needs of the water monitoring community. A camera-based water monitoring system that is scalable to a national monitoring network would meet NGWOS’s mission of implementing innovative monitoring technologies and methods within the USGS and throughout the water monitoring community. |
