This $382,843.68 federal Project Grant from the Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will support Utah State University (USU) and its partners in enhancing an existing platform to provide 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 the development of management and strategic plans for the next several years to a decade. The tools will leverage expertise and support from NOAA, state and local water agencies, and research institutes across Utah and the broader region. This applied science effort seeks to improve access to hydrologic data, develop advanced water management tools, and enhance modeling and forecasting capabilities to increase water supply reliability, provide operational flexibility, and support sustainable drought management strategies.
