$2.4M federal grant boosts UH¡¯²õ AI-driven farm irrigation system
The project will leverage data from a dense network of weather stations across the islands, feeding it into an innovative AI-enhanced irrigation management system.

UH projects totaling $2.1 million address the impacts to air and water quality, public health, ecosystem resilience and community evacuation responses.
Individuals who are interested in receiving updates on the registry¡¯²õ development and community engagement efforts are encouraged to sign up.
The team will work together to improve the state¡¯²õ existing forecast system, which currently uses data from a single station at the Honolulu airport.
The researchers stress that their findings are from controlled lab conditions, and further research is needed to understand real-world implications.
The Water Resources Research Center hosted the Hydrological Sciences Summit on the Âé¶¹´«Ã½²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹ campus in February.
At the end of the project, the team plans to deliver a proof-of-concept, island-appropriate, prototype wastewater infrastructure system.
UH ²Ñ¨¡²Ô´Ç²¹¡¯²õ spotlighted its research on some of Âé¶¹´«Ã½'s most pressing issues: Maui wildfire disaster, homelessness, mental health challenges, educational reform and more.
Mental health and neurological symptoms were the most widely reported.
By combining Âé¶¹´«Ã½¡¯²õ two main types of rainfall observations, experts can now gain a better understanding of the complex rainfall patterns to boost preparedness in natural disasters.
