Water resources engineer uses advanced sensing, crowdsourcing, other tools to predict urban water flow, hazards and infrastructure needs
Urban Water SustainabilityA UT Arlington water resources engineer has been awarded a four-year, $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant to improve sustainability of large urban areas from extreme weather, urbanization and climate change. D.J. Seo, associate professor of water resources engineering in the Civil Engineering Department , will lead a team of researchers who will integrate data from advanced weather radar systems, innovative wireless sensors and crowdsourcing of data via cell phone applications to create high-resolution modeling of urban water
