University of Arkansas gets DOE Grant for Water Resource Simulation Model
…from New Technology Magazine…
“The Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has selected nine new projects targeting environmental tools and technology for shale gas and coalbed methane (CBM) production. NETL’s goals for these projects are to improve management of water resources, water usage and water disposal, and to support science that will aid the regulatory and permitting processes required for shale gas development.
“University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark.—The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a water management decision-support system by modifying and integrating a state-of-the-art water resource simulation model with a modern enterprise geographic information system (GIS). This will provide a science-based tool that can be used to support development of energy resources in the Fayetteville Shale region of Arkansas. (DOE share: $636,467; recipient share: $179,517; duration 24 months)”
