The Western States Water Council (WSWC) was awarded a $786,181 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program to continue development of the Western Water Rights and Aggregate Water Use Data Access and Analysis Tool (WestDAAT). WestDAAT aggregates water rights and use data from WSWC's 17 western state members and Alaska to enable consistent access and analysis in support of water resources planning and management. Under this award, WSWC will move WestDAAT from prototype to full functionality and work closely with Reclamation to coordinate and enhance its existing water rights database. Making this hydrologic data easily available through WestDAAT is expected to improve drought management, water rights administration, recognition of federal water reservations, conservation efforts, and initiatives to protect watersheds, fish and wildlife habitat, and aquatic species. The project period runs from May 25, 2022 to June 30, 2024.
