The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,001,044.18 Cooperative Agreement to Carollo Engineers Inc. on August 24, 2023 under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The project will test an in-situ resin regeneration process using bicarbonate for potable water reuse applications. This approach aims to remove dissolved organic matter and inorganic anions such as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and others from the water without producing the large...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program provides $750,000 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to develop an intercalibrated 28-year data record of snow cover and albedo properties across 17 western U.S. states. The project aims to transition from the legacy MODIS satellite sensor to the newer VIIRS sensor, leveraging advanced spectral mixture analysis...

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $430,000 Cooperative Agreement on January 17, 2025 under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and its National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) division. This funding will leverage NCAR's technical and hydrologic expertise to create an online portal and data hub that enhances public understanding of hydrology and water management...

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $575,089.48 Cooperative Agreement under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) to Natural Ocean Well CO. on March 19, 2024. The project proposes to install and evaluate a submerged water filtration system in the Las Virgenes Reservoir. Submerged water filtration is an unconventional approach that can reduce energy requirements by leveraging natural hydrostatic pressure, while also protecting the system from atmospheric climate...

Under this $649,970 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), the recipient Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) aims to pilot distributed modeling and enhanced snow products at two River Forecast Centers. The project will evaluate and apply distributed modeling techniques coupled with advanced snow data to enhance river flow forecasting capabilities at the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) provides $460,000 to Boise State University to develop an evaluation framework and integration guide for incorporating third-party snow water equivalent (SWE) datasets into the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center's (CBRFC) hydrologic modeling. The goal is to leverage newly available SWE data sources beyond the SNOTEL network to enhance the CBRFC's operational...

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $875,000 Project Grant on April 22, 2024 to the El Dorado County Water Agency under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). This funding will support the development of a permanent Wireless Sensor Network in the American River Basin to improve the reliability, timeliness, and accuracy of snowpack and runoff forecasting.
