Through watersmart (sustain and manage america s resources for tomorrow), reclamation leverages federal and non federal funding to work cooperatively with states, tribes, and local entities as they plan for and implement actions to increase water supply reliability through investments and attention to local water conflicts. This grant selected under the water conservation field services program provides funding for projects that will increase water reliability and improve water management through the promotion and implementation of water efficiency measures. The silt water conservancy district (swcd) was organized for the purpose of conserving and developing land and water resources for the greatest beneficial use of water within the swcd boundaries of garfield county, colorado.silt water conservancy district (swcd) shall use this grant to evaluate all the water rights that impact the drainages supplying water to swcd facilities. These water rights will include those operated by swcd as well as those non swcd rights that must be supplied and impact the operations. Part of the process will include creation of a flow analysis regime for all the water rights to include in overall supply demand balance equations. Also, swcd shall use this grant to analyze and create equations for the fill storage and supply capacity at any point in time of both reservoirs, harvey GAP and rifle GAP reservoirs.
