Non-technical DescriptionThis project will expand and enhance the surface-water sensing capabilities across Kentucky and West Virginia, providing a foundation for understanding the impacts of agricultural and hydropower production on water quality, particularly as it relates to harmful algal blooms. It will bring together experts in engineering and aquatic ecology, involving five research groups from three universities in the two states, jointly motivated to develop more sustainable water, food, and energy systems. Using a surface water-quality sensing network and supporting data visualization and modeling capabilities, the project will address three research questions: 1) What are the interconnections among water quality issues relative to increasing agricultural production, changing land-use patterns, climate change, energy production, and ecosystem dynamics across Kentucky and West Virginia?s aquatic environments? 2) What are the environmental, physical, and biogeochemical features leading to water-quality changes and how might advanced technologies be applied to better understand and monitor those changes? and 3) How might modeling and management scenarios of land use, nutrient loading, and water-control systems operate in concert to reduce degradation of systems at local and basin scales? Along with its research focus, the project will work to enhance and diversify the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce in Kentucky and West Virginia and support the professional development of early-career faculty.Technical Description The research team will focus on the environmental drivers associated with the formation and propagation of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms. Extensive in situ sensing infrastructure will be installed at two hydropower-producing water bodies and along two watersheds in regions with heavy agricultural land use. Thirty-three new instruments will be acquired and deployed to monitor nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), inorganic carbon, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, algal pigment and cell numbers, water flow parameters, and meteorology. Cyberinfrastructure upgrades will be included to allow near real-time data collection and visualization. Analyses will focus on identifying the presence, extent, and timing of the harmful algal blooms as they relate to the measured parameters.

非技术描述该项目将扩大和增强肯塔基州和西弗吉尼亚州的地表水传感能力，为了解农业和水电生产对水质的影响奠定基础，特别是与有害藻华相关的影响。 它将汇集工程和水生生态学方面的专家，包括来自两个州三所大学的五个研究小组，共同致力于开发更可持续的水、食品和能源系统。 该项目将利用地表水质传感网络并支持数据可视化和建模功能，解决三个研究问题：1）肯塔基州和西弗吉尼亚州水生环境中与农业生产增加、土地利用模式变化、气候变化、能源生产和生态系统动态相关的水质问题之间有何相互联系？ 2) 导致水质变化的环境、物理和生物地球化学特征是什么？如何应用先进技术来更好地理解和监测这些变化？ 3）土地利用、养分负荷和水控制系统的建模和管理场景如何协同运作，以减少当地和流域规模的系统退化？ 除了研究重点外，该项目还将致力于增强肯塔基州和西弗吉尼亚州的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力并使其多样化，并支持早期职业教师的专业发展。 技术说明 该研究团队将重点研究与蓝藻有害藻华形成和繁殖相关的环境驱动因素。 将在两个水力发电水体以及农业用地密集地区的两个流域沿线安装广泛的现场传感基础设施。 将购买并部署 33 台新仪器来监测营养物（氮和磷）、无机碳、溶解氧、pH、温度、浊度、电导率、藻类色素和细胞数量、水流参数和气象。 将包括网络基础设施升级，以实现近乎实时的数据收集和可视化。分析的重点是确定有害藻华的存在、程度和时间，因为它们与测量的参数相关。
