The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,032,950.26 Project Grant under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507) to the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to restore and protect sensitive habitat along the Muddy River in Moapa, Nevada. The project aims to widen existing riparian corridors, expand tree cover, and re-establish native vegetation in a 12-acre area of the Warm Springs Natural Area. These actions will increase habitat for...
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $3,495,000 Project Grant to the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514). The grant will fund SNWA's efforts to expand its Septic System Conversion Program, which incentivizes property owners to abandon onsite septic systems and connect to the public sewer system. These conversions increase water supplies by allowing more discharge water to enter the...
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) will receive $540,365 from the Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program to expand the forecasting capabilities of the Lakes Mead and Mohave Model (LM3). The LM3 is a 3D hydrodynamic and water quality model encompassing Lakes Mead, the Colorado River below Hoover Dam, and Lake Mohave. SNWA will update the LM3 monthly using new Colorado River Management Model Simulation and Effects Program projections released by Reclamation. The...
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) received a $438,901.61 cooperative agreement award from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act – Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The award period is from April 19, 2023 through December 31, 2024. Under this cooperative agreement, SNWA will examine integrating dissolved air flotation into the existing footprint of a drinking water treatment plant located in Las Vegas, NV to remove increased particle...
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) was awarded a $2,660,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to expand water reuse efforts in the Colorado River Basin. The funding will support initial planning and design activities for a project to recycle wastewater from the City of Boulder City, contributing over 800 acre-feet annually to direct or indirect reuse, and reducing water losses to evaporation. Key...
This $412,175 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) aims to improve scientific modeling and water quality forecasting capabilities in the Colorado River Basin. The key products and services to be delivered include: Development of a predictive machine learning model to assess water quality risks in the Colorado River Basin. Expansion of a 3D physical model for the Colorado...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $713,795 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to develop advanced hydrodynamic and water quality modeling capabilities for the Lower Colorado River Basin. The project aims to use a "backcasting" approach to rigorously define scenarios likely to cause problems for water managers and water supplies in the region. Model simulations across a wide range of drivers will be...
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $4,973,100 Project Grant to the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507). The funding will support SNWA's initiative to convert over 1.5 million square feet of natural grass to artificial turf on 22 fields at 11 high schools within the Clark County School District. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 337...
This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Natural Resource Stewardship program (CFDA 15.944) provides $248,800.00 to the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to replace and maintain five water quality monitoring buoys on Lakes Mead and Mohave. The buoys will collect real-time meteorological and hydrological data, which will be transmitted to a publicly available database. This data will be used by partners to support water quality monitoring, modeling, and...
