US (SC): Clemson to lead $8.7 million research effort

The Department of Agriculture has awarded Clemson researchers $8.7 million to lead a multistate, five-year project to help ensure sufficient water for the nation’s billion-dollar nursery and floriculture industry.

Regional water shortages and droughts are creating competing needs among metropolitan and rural areas. Innovative approaches to use water more efficiently can help address the allocation problems.

Twenty-one researchers at nine universities across the nation will collaborate to design and demonstrate ways to treat and recycle water.
