Stantec/AECOM Partner with CSU Hydraulics Lab to Design New Spillway for Gross Reservoir Dam
spillway3_full cropped
Drs. Christopher Thornton and Robert Ettema along with M.S. student Taylor Hogan in partnership with Stantec/AECOM have designed and built a test model spillway for the Gross Reservoir in southwest Boulder County for Denver Water.  The reservoir provides water to more than 1.4 million residents along the Front Range.  The planned height of the dam for the spillway is to be raised to 471 feet allowing for the water capacity to increase by approximately 25 billion gallons.  The spillway is a stepped spillway which causes the energy from the water flowing over the dam to dissipate – allowing water to [...]
Sybil Sharvelle Receives $3M NSF Grant
Sybil Sharvelle
Dr. Sybil Sharvelle was awarded a five-year, $3 million grant from NSF for The Interdisciplinary Training, Education and Research in Food-Energy-Water Systems (InTERFEWS) Program.  This program brings together PhD students from traditionally disparate disciplines to conduct research on key problems in the Food-Energy-Water nexus with a focus on water-scarce, arid regions. The mission of the program is to prepare a diverse group of graduate students with the transdisciplinary and systems-level thinking skills necessary to make meaningful contributions to the complex and changing interactions in food, energy, and water under water scarcity. InTERFEWS offers interdisciplinary courses that are team taught by [...]
