The Utah Water Science Center is offering this grant to support collaborative research aimed at understanding and modeling salinity generation from rangelands and natural landscapes within watersheds of the Upper Colorado River Basin. This grant is for researchers with expertise in determining the mechanisms, processes, and pathways controlling salinity fate and transport. Key objectives include developing conceptual models of salinity generation from non-irrigated geologic units and subsequent transport to streams. Furthermore, these conceptual models and data from predominately rangeland watersheds are to be integrated into a SPARROW model. The ultimate purpose is to assess the significance of rangelands and rangeland management practices in the overall generation of salinity in the basin. This initiative seeks to enhance our understanding for improved water resource management.

| Description: | The Utah Water Science Center is specifically looking for collaborative opportunities with University researchers who have expertise in determining the mechanisms, processes, and pathways controlling the fate and transport of salinity generated from rangelands and natural landscapes in watersheds in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Research is needed to develop conceptual models of salinity generation from non-irrigated geologic units and transport to streams from rangelands. Conceptual models of salinity generation from rangelands and data from watersheds that are predominately rangeland need to be incorporated into a SPARROW model to assess significance of rangelands and rangeland management practices in the generation of salinity. |
