About this award
This is a $1,454,435.46 grant award to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government and institution of higher learning, to conduct research on the analysis of agricultural water supply-demand imbalance during the California drought. The grant is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and focuses on understanding the impacts of reduced snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which is a critical natural water storage system for California's agricultural regions. The award is not associated with a set-aside program and does not mention any major subcontractors. As a public research university, the University of Colorado has a history of providing technical services, including space weather modeling, air quality assessments, and thermal management solutions, to federal agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and NOAA under past contract and grant awards.
Description
Agricultural water supplies in california are heavily dependent on natural water storage in the the sierra nevada snowpack which stores approximately 14 million acre feet (~17 KM3) of water annually. Snowmelt from this natural storage fills reservoirs in the sacramento and SAN joaquin river valleys equivalent to 13.5 and 11.5 million acre feet, respectively. Demands on these sources of water storage meet or exceed supply under normal climatic conditions. The recent california drought significantly reduced this natural water storage leading to significant water supply-demand imbalances that have had profound economic and societal impacts. The current drought is the most severe on record with four consecutive years of significantly below normal snowpack (e.g.
