## Who can apply

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

This financial assistance opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program. CESU’s are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. Eligible recipients must be a participating partner of the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Program.

## What the grant funds

The US Geology Survey, Water Mission Area (WMA), Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS), is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research and development in the field of camera-based water monitoring technology. The application of camera-based monitoring methods that integrate image analysis and artificial intelligence techniques is of interest to NGWOS. A coordinated system of hardware and software is needed but nothing exists commercially that meets the needs of the water monitoring community. A camera-based water monitoring system that is scalable to a national monitoring network would meet NGWOS’s mission of implementing innovative monitoring technologies and methods within the USGS and throughout the water monitoring community.
