The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Nye County Water District (NCWD) in Nevada. The grant supports NCWD's efforts, with assistance from partner organizations, to incorporate new hydrologic data into the Pahrump Valley Basin groundwater model and develop a predictive model. The goals are to improve groundwater management and forecasting capabilities within the Pahrump Valley to address water resource...
This $893,000 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) on September 17, 2024. The grant recipient, the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency (YSGA), will use the funding to improve surface water-groundwater modeling, develop projects and demand management strategies to support groundwater sustainability, create a seasonal forecasting platform, and enhance data management and public data access. The...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to characterize surface water and groundwater regimes in the lower Pecos River region of Texas. The project aims to improve understanding of salinity, flow, and water quality in the Pecos River through collaborative work with local groundwater conservation districts. Key activities include employing geochemical frameworks and gain-loss...
The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) received a $726,748 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to update their groundwater flow model. The purpose of the project is to better describe the recharge and storage paths in key aquifers in the Upper Santa Clara River Valley Groundwater Basin to determine the future reliability of its aquifers and recharging needs. The updated model will be...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $274,145.41 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Utah Geological Survey (UGS), a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. The purpose of this 2-year award is to integrate two existing soil water balance models with Google Earth Engine (GEE) to improve water budget estimates in several Utah valleys and the Great Salt Lake watershed. This integration will allow for rapid and updatable calculations of...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $638,558 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), in coordination with Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD). The purpose of this 27-month grant, which runs from May 2025 to June 2027, is for UTA to develop an isotope-based tracer tool to examine blending ratios, water travel times, and impacts of recycled stormwater within TRWD's tap water...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $377,502 Project Grant under its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop the next generation of three water and data management tools to improve access to water resources data for the Roswell Artesian Basin. The project, conducted in partnership with the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District, aims to enhance data integration, the Next...
This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) provides $393,724 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to conduct a series of surveys in the San Acacia reach of the Middle Rio Grande. The objective is to measure the flux of drainage groundwater entering the surface-water system, partition the groundwater discharge into its different sources, and provide aquifer flux-boundary...
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...
This $9,411,120 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) will enable the Union Water Supply Corporation (UWSC) in southern Texas to complete planning, design, and construction of a new groundwater well and treatment plant. This project aims to significantly increase the overall resiliency of UWSC's water system and enable the organization to forego leasing additional...
