The State of Delaware, Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) received a $164,000 Formula Grant under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Water Quality Management Planning program (CFDA 66.454). This funding supports DNREC's water quality management planning efforts, which include:
Developing a GIS tool to track and prioritize groundwater protection work in relation to climate change and underserved communities. DNREC is also partnering with the University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEMA) to complete Phase 3 of a water resources tracker at the HUC-12 watershed level. This multi-phase project aims to better assess water quantity across Delaware by integrating observed, estimated, and modeled data from various sources. The expected outcomes include identifying at-risk communities and creating a comprehensive water resources tracker to inform water quality management planning.
