“Cities with more resources can lead on advancing knowledge and practice by monitoring and evaluating stormwater control measure networks,” said Associate Professor Aditi Bhaskar, the study's co-author. “These cities can also benefit from learning about the approaches used by other cities, for example, to share information on effectiveness of approaches.”

CEAE's Aditi Bhaskar studies how urban water conservation efficiency could reduce streamflow, affecting stream health and downstream users.

CEAE Professor Balaji Rajagopalan, raised without running water in India, now studies monsoon variability as a Fulbright-Kalam Climate Fellow.

More than 50 percent of the largest lakes in the world are losing water, according to a groundbreaking new assessment published today in Science.  The article was coauthored by Professor Balaji Rajagopalan and Associate Professor Ben Livneh, both from CU Boulder's Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering. Fangfang Yao, a CIRES visiting scholar, was the lead author.

Aditi Bhaskar, associate professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, has been awarded $66,501 in funding from The Water Research Foundation (WRF) for the research project, "Advancing Adaptive

Using bright green lasers and camera equipment, a team of CU Boulder engineers ran an experiment to reveal how tiny water droplets, invisible to the naked eye, are rapidly ejected into the air when a lid-less, public restroom toilet is flushed. Now published in Scientific Reports, it is the first study to directly visualize the resulting aerosol plume and measure the speed and spread of particles within it.

From figuring out where memories are stored to how sensory information translates to behavior, new technologies are helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works. Hear from several experts, including CU Professor John Crimaldi, on

Ben Livneh was interviewed by Denver 9News for a piece focusing flash flooding over the Cameron Peak Fire burn scar.The floods caused serious damage in the Glen Haven, Crystal Mountain and Buckhorn areas of Larimer County.

When Western wildfires break out, water may first come to mind as a critical resource for helping extinguish it. But what about after the flames finish? A 2022 CU study on the growing impact of wildfire on the Western U.S. water supply found that
