The objective of this proposal is design and development of a micro-nanoIntegrated SMART water health monitoring and decontamination system-on-a-package(SOP). This objective will be met through the following specific goals ofthis proposal: (a) to understand and address the challenges in measurement offlood water parameters, in particular Coliforms, continuously and rapidlythroughout large volumes and over large time spans, using micro-sensor systemintegrated with wireless communication system; (b) another key objective is toembed specially engineered decontaminating surface activated nanoparticlesreservoir coupled in a feedback-loop with the micro-sensor to release theparticles once a high Coliform count is detected in the contaminated floodregions in the instances such as after Hurricane Katrina.Intellectual merit of the project will have far reaching implications in the areas of(1) fundamental science required to enable the development of integratedsensing systems that would be capable of rapid response monitoring of the floodwater affected area, (2) design considerations of such fusion of nano-microdevices and materials and their survivability in the harsh environment, and (3)testing of nanoparticles with sample contaminant, representative of what wasobserved in the Katrina aftermath.Broader Impact of the project would facilitate the fundamental understandingand optimization of the science and technology of continuous water qualitymonitoring as well as active environment specific remediation in case ofcatastrophic events.

该提案的目标是设计和开发微纳集成智能水健康监测和净化套装系统（SOP）。这一目标将通过本提案的以下具体目标来实现：(a) 使用与无线集成的微传感器系统，在大容量和大时间跨度内连续、快速地了解和解决洪水参数（特别是大肠菌群）测量的挑战通讯系统； (b) 另一个关键目标是嵌入专门设计的去污表面活化纳米颗粒储存器，与微型传感器耦合在反馈回路中，一旦在受污染的洪水区域检测到高大肠菌计数（例如卡特里娜飓风之后），就会释放颗粒。该项目将在以下领域产生深远影响：(1) 开发能够对洪水影响区域进行快速响应监测的综合传感系统所需的基础科学，(2)纳米微器件和材料的这种融合的设计考虑及其在恶劣环境中的生存能力，以及（3）用样品污染物测试纳米颗粒，代表在卡特里娜飓风过后观察到的情况。该项目的更广泛影响将促进基本理解和优化连续水质监测的科学技术以及在发生灾难性事件时积极进行特定环境修复的技术。
