Welcome to the website of the Coupled Water Systems Lab

Based in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of South Florida, we are a group of engineers and scientists interested in solving water management problems requiring interdisciplinary research on hydrology, water quality, ecosystems, and society.

The intent of this website is to provide a taste for the type of research we are dedicated to.

Research Questions:

How do we sustainably manage and develop aquatic systems in the tropics and subtropics?
How do we couple hydrology with human, energy, and natural systems?
How do we design water operations for society's well-being and ecological restoration?
What are the effects of water infrastructure on surrounding coastal and freshwater ecosystems?
How do environmental uncertainties and water operations affect streamflows and water quality?
