About this award
The El Paso County Water Improvement District No. 1 received a $4,031,382 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507). The grant will fund the lining of 11,000 feet of the Riverside Canal with steel-panel reinforced concrete, which is expected to result in annual water savings of 1,637 acre-feet by reducing seepage losses. This project aims to improve water management and conservation in the region, which has experienced prolonged drought conditions. The additional water savings will enable the district to better allocate its Rio Grande Project water supplies, particularly during drought years, and help address the projected doubling of the El Paso County population by 2070.
Description
The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 1,637 acre-feet currently lost to seepage, which will enable the district to better manage its allocation of RIO grande project water.

As a result of the project, additional RIO grande project water will be stored in elephant butte and caballo reservoirs, which will provide critical water supplies to the area during drought years.
