Clemson's Intelligent River technology to provide real-time monitoring of river
Date:10/20/2011

itiated the Intelligent River program in 2007 with seed funding of $1.75 million from Clemson Public Service Activities.

"Our goal is to utilize the Intelligent River technologies to safeguard our natural environment, the principal driver in South Carolina's strong tourism, forestry and agricultural economies," he said.

The Intelligent River is a campuswide interdisciplinary research initiative, administered through the Institute of Applied Ecology, that joins the forces of computer and environmental scientists to develop new technologies for linking land use, energy production, climate change and water resources. It also is a key component of the new S.C. Center of Economic Excellence in Sustainable Development that focuses on green job creation around these technologies.

Jason Hallstrom, an associate professor in the School of Computing and a Clemson IDEaS Professor, is the principal investigator for the NSF award.

"We are delighted to receive the support of the National Science Foundation for this important task," Hallstrom said. "Our goal is to develop a cyberinfrastructure-enabled instrument that will serve as a world model for managing water resources. It takes an incredibly talented and dedicated team that spans multiple disciplines to achieve this. We have that team at Clemson."

The team includes hardware developers, software engineers, river ecologists, visual effects scientists, forestry and natural resource scientists, information technologists and applied economists.

The same technology that is being used to monitor rivers can monitor many other things. Plans already are in the works for an Intelligent Farm and Intelligent Forest, and even Intelligent Buildings and Intelligent Roads.

"This technology has the potential to create a new knowledge-based industry in South Carolina that can bring high-tech jobs and protect the environment," said John Kelly, Clemson vice president for economic deve
