Computing for Sustainable Water Project comes to an end

The Computing for Sustainable Water Project has run its course following six months of computation on the World Community Grid. The project has focused on the issues surrounding the quality of water in the Chesapeake Bay area, the largest watershed of the Atlantic seaboard of North America. The researchers behind the project hope to apply the lessons learned here to other watersheds around the world.
