Smart Watersheds for Conservation and Resilience

The Huron River Watershed Council and the University of Michigan will enable the smart watershed – a landscape covered by connected sensors, whose data are analyzed to manage the flow of water. The smart watershed will help communities to coordinate flows between each other to reduce problems of water pollution, flooding, and extreme weather. We bring together a broader team of dam operators, regional planners, engineers, social scientists, and ecologists – with close to a decade of ongoing collaboration.
