The Tributary company, launched by Enrique Vivoni, a professor of hydro systems engineering in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, is helping communities measure water benefits provided by forest management. Vivoni, director of ASU’s Center for Hydrologic Innovations, is teaming with Zhaocheng Wang, a research scientist in the same school, and Josh Cederstrom, a graduate associate in ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, to make rigorous science useful for water utilities and systems managers. The goal is to translate science knowledge, discoveries and engineering advances into guidelines to help water systems managers fulfill their mission to maintain healthy water environments.
