| THE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC. WILL COLLABORATE WITH SKY ISLAND ALLIANCE TO DEVELOP A STRATEGIC PLAN TO ENHANCE GROUNDWATER RECHARGE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOWER SANTA CRUZ WATERSHED IN PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. THE LOWER SANTA CRUZ WATERSHED CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANT RECHARGE TO THE TUCSON REGIONAL AQUIFERS HOWEVER, WARMER WINTERS ARE PROVIDING LESS SNOWMELT TO NOURISH UPLAND SPRINGS AND REPLENISH DOWNSTREAM AQUIFERS. DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND MORE INTENSE SUMMER STORMS HAVE INCREASED FLOOD RISK AND REDUCED RECHARGE POTENTIAL IN THE WATERSHED. THE PROJECT PARTNERS WILL UTILIZE THE DIVERSE STAKEHOLDER AND SUBJECT-MATTER EXPERTISE OF THE SANTA CRUZ WATERSHED COLLABORATIVE TO IDENTIFY PRIORITY PROJECT SITES TO MITIGATE FLOOD RISK AND INCREASE RECHARGE, AND WILL SURVEY SPRINGS, CREEKS, AND ARROYOS TO ASSESS MANAGEMENT NEEDS AND IDENTIFY PRIORITY RESTORATION SITES, AND DEVELOP CONCEPTUAL PROJECT PLANS AND AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES. THIS EFFORT COMPLIMENTS THE EXISTING WATERSMART LOWER SANTA CRUZ RIVER BASIN STUDY AND THE SANTA CRUZ WATERSHED COLLECTIVES WATERSHED RESTORATION PLAN.

| THE ESCALATING GLOBAL DEMAND FOR FRESHWATER, DRIVEN BY DIVERSE APPLICATIONS, PLACES INCREASING STRESS ON FINITE WATER RESOURCES. TO ENSURE FUTURE WATER SECURITY, EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE SOURCES LIKE SEAWATER, GROUNDWATER, AND WASTEWATER IS IMPERATIVE. HOWEVER, THESE SOURCES OFTEN CONTAIN SALTS AND CONTAMINANTS, REQUIRING REMOVAL FOR SAFE USE. REVERSE OSMOSIS DOMINATES DESALINATION, PRODUCING APPROXIMATELY 50% OF GLOBAL DESALINATED WATER. DESPITE ITS EFFECTIVENESS, REVERSE OSMOSIS FACES A CRITICAL CHALLENGE: MEMBRANE FOULING. THIS PHENOMENON, MARKED BY THE ACCUMULATION OF PARTICLES AND MICROORGANISMS ON THE MEMBRANE, RESULTS IN DIMINISHED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, ELEVATED COSTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN, WITH SCALING AND BIOFOULING EMERGING AS PARTICULARLY PERVASIVE ISSUES WITHIN THIS CONTEXT. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE ASSOCIATED COSTS REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 24% OF OPERATING EXPENSES. SCALING RESULTS FROM INORGANIC MINERAL ION PRECIPITATION, WHILE BIOFOULING INVOLVES LIVING MICROORGANISMS ADHERING TO THE MEMBRANE. CURRENT STRATEGIES, INCLUDING CHEMICAL ADDITIVES AND DISINFECTION METHODS, HAVE DRAWBACKS. THE PROJECT ENTITLED NANOBUBBLES AS A CHEMICAL-FREE FOULING AND SCALE CONTROL STRATEGY FOR REVERSE OSMOSIS, LED BY PROFESSOR SERGIO GARCIA-SEGURA AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, PROPOSES A CHEMICAL-FREE SOLUTION USING GAS NANOBUBBLES FOR SCALING AND BIOFOULING CONTROL DURING BRACKISH WATER DESALINATION. PRELIMINARY RESULTS INDICATE THAT AIR MICROBUBBLES, LARGER AND PRESUMABLY LESS EFFECTIVE THAN NANOBUBBLES, DIMINISH MEMBRANE SCALING DURING REVERSE OSMOSIS TREATMENT DUE TO TURBULENCE. NANOBUBBLES ALSO ACT AS COAGULANTS, ANTI-SCALANTS, OXIDIZERS, AND DISINFECTANTS, OFFERING A DUAL SOLUTION WITHOUT INTRODUCING ADDITIONAL CHEMICALS. TO ESTABLISH NANOBUBBLES AS A COMPETITIVE SOLUTION, SEVERAL RESEARCH QUESTIONS MUST BE ADDRESSED, INCLUDING (1) THE IMPACT OF WATER MATRIX COMPOSITION ON BUBBLE ATTRIBUTES, (2) THE INFLUENCE OF BUBBLE SIZE AND GAS TYPE ON FOULING PREVENTION, AND (3) THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL METHODS. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO FILL THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS BY EVALUATING BUBBLE GENERATION IN DIFFERENT WATER MATRICES, DETERMINING THE IDEAL GAS AND BUBBLE SIZE FOR FOULING PREVENTION, AND DEMONSTRATING COST-EFFECTIVENESS AT A PILOT SCALE. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO UNRAVEL MECHANISMS AND IDENTIFY THE MOST EFFECTIVE BUBBLE TYPE FOR PREVENTING AND CLEANING MEMBRANE FOULING. WHILE THE FOCUS IS ON REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATION, SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION OF NANOBUBBLES CAN BE EXTENDED TO OTHER MEMBRANE-BASED PROCESSES, CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERALL ADVANCEMENT OF DESALINATION TECHNOLOGIES. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ALIGNS WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY R24AS00016 BY DEVELOPING OR IMPROVING PROCESS OR APPROACHES TO REDUCE THE COST, ENERGY CONSUMPTION, FEASIBILITY, AND OR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF DESALINATION AND WATER TREATMENT AS WELL AS IMPROVING EXISTING MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING REVERSE OSMOSIS, ELECTRODIALYSIS, NANOFILTRATION, MEMBRANE FILTRATION, AND PRETREATMENT PROCESSES. BY ADVANCING A POTENTIAL CHEMICAL-FREE SCALING AND BIOFOULING CONTROL STRATEGY, THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL ALSO HELP DEVELOP COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACHES FOR CONCENTRATE MANAGEMENT THAT MINIMIZE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. THIS INNOVATIVE APPROACH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE RELIANCE ON ANTI-FOULING CHEMICALS AND DISINFECTANTS, ALSO ADDRESSING THE CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN ASSOCIATED WITH THE LIMITED LIFESPAN OF MEMBRANES. | Arizona (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY | $210K | — |
| SONORAN INSTITUTE AND THE SANTA CRUZ WATERSHED COLLABORATIVE, NEAR TUCSON ARIZONA, WILL IDENTIFY, DESIGN, AND PLAN FOR RESTORATION OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MIDDLE BASIN OF THE SANTA CRUZ RIVER WATERSHED. THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE A CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT WITHIN THE WATERSHED, FOCUSING ON IDENTIFYING AREAS OF THE RIVER CORRIDOR WHERE RESTORATION IS POSSIBLE, THEN NARROWING THE SCOPE THROUGH A PRIORITIZATION EVALUATION. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO CREATE A WATER BUDGETS AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR A PRIORITIZED SUBSET OF RESTORATION PROJECTS IDENTIFIED. ALTHOUGH FREQUENTLY INTERMITTENT, THE MIDDLE SANTA CRUZ RIVER HISTORICALLY FLOWED SEASONALLY AND SUPPORTED A LARGE MESQUITE FOREST. DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES, AND DECLINE IN GROUNDWATER LEVELS, FLOWS IN THE MIDDLE SANTA CRUZ RIVER HAVE DECREASED AND THE MESQUITE FORESTS HAVE DISAPPEARED. THE SONORAN INSTITUTE AND COLLABORATIVE'S GOAL IS TO RESTORE FLOWS IN THE MIDDLE SANTA CRUZ RIVER AND RESTORE RIPARIAN AREAS TO IMPROVE RIPARIAN HABITAT AND INCREASE AQUIFER RECHARGE. THE MIDDLE BASIN OF THE SANTA CRUZ RIVER WATERSHED ENCOMPASSES A COMPLEX MIX OF URBAN COMMUNITIES, AGRICULTURAL LANDS, NATIVE NATIONS, AND FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PUBLIC LANDS. | Arizona (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | THE SONORAN INSTITUTE | $99K | — |
| THE CITY OF KINGMAN (KINGMAN), LOCATED IN MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA, PROVIDES WATER AND OTHER SERVICES TO A POPULATION OF APPROXIMATELY 55,000 PEOPLE AND COVERS AN AREA OF 1,820 SQUARE MILES. KINGMAN OBTAINS ALL ITS WATER FROM GROUNDWATER WELLS, MOST OF WHICH DRAW FROM THE AQUIFER IN THE SOUTHERN HUALAPAI BASIN. A RECENT ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES REPORT INDICATED THAT THE HUALAPAI BASIN HAD INSUFFICIENT GROUNDWATER TO SUSTAIN ALL OF THE CURRENT USES WITHIN THE REGION. IN ADDITION, THIS AREA IS EXPERIENCING EXCEPTIONAL AND UNPRECEDENTED DROUGHT CONDITIONS. TO INCREASE WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY AND PROACTIVELY ADDRESS THE REGION S CONCERN WITH DROUGHT, KINGMAN WILL DEVELOP A NEW DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN. | Arizona (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CITY OF KINGMAN | $100K | — |
