- The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, through its Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504), awarded a $483,247 project grant to the Kansas Water Office. The grant funds a 60-day pilot-scale project to treat produced oilfield water to a quality standard acceptable for agricultural irrigation and livestock watering. The project involves the following key tasks: system deployment and installation, operation of the test pilot project, data analysis, demobilization, and a...
- The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $133,700 Project Grant under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on July 17, 2024. The funding supports a research project that will explore incorporating a Many Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) analytical approach into Reclamation's midterm (2-5 year) operational projections for the Colorado River system. This approach aims to provide more robust and nuanced insights into...
- This $152,012 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering (ENG) program (CFDA 47.041) to Kansas State University (KSU) for the "CAS-CLIMATE: MULTISCALE DATA AND MODEL SYNTHESIS INFORMED APPROACH FOR ASSESSING CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF CROP PRODUCTION SYSTEMS" project. The goal is to develop a comprehensive modeling framework to analyze the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on crop production systems, with a focus on...
- The University of North Dakota, in partnership with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, was awarded a $469,681 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The grant supports the installation of soil moisture sensors, rainfall gauges, and a streamflow gauge in the Cannonball River watershed, as well as the collection of hydrologic and climatic data. The project aims to develop seasonal forecasts of streamflow...
- The University of Oklahoma, through its Office of Research Administration, has been awarded a $656,589.32 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078). The project aims to demonstrate the use of advanced explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques to enhance reservoir inflow forecasting for the Upper Colorado River Basin by leveraging existing and high-resolution snow monitoring data....
- This $1,975,000 federal Project Grant awarded on June 11, 2025 by the Bureau of Reclamation under the Colorado River System Conservation Pilot (CFDA 15.567) program will provide funding to the Kansas Department of Agriculture to advance the state's Water Right Transition Assistance Program (WTAP) and potentially fund temporary, rotational fallowing of agricultural lands. The WTAP is a voluntary, incentive-based program that retires privately held irrigation water rights in order to help...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $499,681.45, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The project aims to quantify and project the water budget across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) using a hierarchical modeling framework. Key objectives include: Quantifying water budget components by leveraging hydrological experiments, applying machine learning algorithms to inform soil properties, and employing...
- This $382,843.68 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through the CFDA 15.557 Applied Science Grants program. The grant will enable Utah State University, in partnership with multiple Utah state agencies, to enhance an existing platform from a 2-year timescale to multi-year-to-decadal timescale forecasting tools for the Colorado River water supply. The project aims to provide a future perspective on persistent drought threats and support...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $268,516 to Kansas State University, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project to study the impacts of changes in land cover and climate on grassland water and carbon cycles. The project aims to: 1) Quantify how woody encroachment alters soil properties and water fluxes; 2) Measure the impact of woody encroachment on groundwater residence times and water sources...
The University of Kansas will provide technical assistance services to the Kansas Water Office to incorporate climate uncertainty into the state's water supply allocation process under a $196,081 Applied Science Grants award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. Through this project grant funding the June 30, 2024 project, the University will quantify climate uncertainty using historical climate data and projections, estimate uncertainty in streamflow and evaporation using hydrologic modeling, modify the state's existing water allocation model to use an ensemble of hydrologic inputs representing climate uncertainty, and quantify uncertainty in future water allocations based on a probabilistic framework. The objective of the Bureau's Applied Science Grants program is to improve water management tools and modeling capabilities using hydrologic data and science, and the products of this project aim to allow Kansas to better plan long-term water supplies and anticipate future resource conditions under climate variability and change.
