This Project Grant award from the Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) provides $1,145,949 to Reclamation District 108 in Colusa County, California to improve access to and use of water resource data, and enhance modeling capabilities to support regional groundwater recharge and conjunctive use programs. The recipient will expand the existing groundwater monitoring network in coordination with the California Department of Water Resources and automate the...
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 water quality and hydrodynamic modeling capabilities in the Lower Colorado River Basin. The project will use a "backcasting" approach to create challenge tests that rigorously define scenarios likely to cause problems for water managers and water supplies. Extensive modeling will be conducted to uncover the...
The Bureau of Reclamation, through its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557), awarded a $897,408 project grant to the Mojave Water Agency Public Facilities Corporation. The grant is funding a 5-year plan to identify data gaps, prioritize opportunities, and provide recharge and runoff estimates for the regional groundwater basin. Key deliverables include conducting surface geophysical surveys, constructing monitoring wells and stream/rain gages, and collecting data to develop stream rating...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded the Mojave Water Agency in Apple Valley, California a $407,408 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to update the agency's existing groundwater conceptual model. The goal is to incorporate current data from climate change models, demand projections, water rates, and a surface water component, as well as artificial intelligence, to create a comprehensive decision-making tool for planning and...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $875,000 Project Grant on April 22, 2024 to the El Dorado County Water Agency under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). This funding will support the development of a permanent Wireless Sensor Network in the American River Basin to improve the reliability, timeliness, and accuracy of snowpack and runoff forecasting. The project partners with the University of California Merced, UC Davis, UC Agricultural and Natural Resources,...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $498,331 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to Tuolumne County in California. The grant will fund the Advancing Social and Ecological Resilience Across the Landscape (SERAL) project within the Stanislaus National Forest. The project aims to improve the understanding of ecohydrological impacts of watershed restoration treatments in the upper Stanislaus and Tuolumne River basins. It will leverage existing data and science to...
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 Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557), provides $533,315 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to develop a reservoir storage forecasting system for the Nueces River Basin in Texas. The project aims to integrate hydrologic modeling, satellite remote sensing, weather forecasting, and climate change projections to create probabilistic forecasts of reservoir storage levels over...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $529,381 Project Grant to the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) Federal Grant Program (CFDA #15.507).
