Next Generation Infra

Next Generation Infrastructure for Sustainable Environments is funded by the SURDNA Foundation.

The purpose of the Next Generation Infrastructure for Sustainable Environments project is to perform applied research for the Urban Water Management infrastructure category and its synergies for existing and expanding urban settlements in US context. The objective of the research is to analyze and prioritize improvements in the existing water infrastructure based on maximum value for the allocated resources. The research will advance through a systemic approach on water consumption, supply, collection, networks and treatment. The project will extend beyond the immediate infrastructure category of water to address its synergies at the large scale with the Energy, and Food Infrastructure Systems. The choice of urban water management is dictated by its utmost importance on urban settlements, having a strong element of locality, especially in its reuse and growing urgency to address climate risk and quality of life of communities.

The initiative has two directions. One is to provide a functional set of analysis and guidelines for all kinds of stakeholders that maybe involved in Urban Water Management, especially in this time of critical paradigm shift. The second direction will be in contribution to the broader goal of sustainable infrastructure systems and most importantly managing integrated infrastructure systems.
