The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, through its WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) grant program (CFDA 15.507), has awarded $529,381 to the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) to develop a water strategy for a cloud seeding pilot project to augment natural precipitation over the Nacimiento and San Antonio watersheds in California. The grant funding will enable MCWRA to conduct additional hydrologic and environmental analysis,...
This $382,843.68 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through the CFDA 15.557 Applied Science Grants program. The grant will enable Utah State University, in partnership with multiple Utah state agencies, to enhance an existing platform from a 2-year timescale to 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...
This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $1,228,743.28, was granted by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078). The project aims to improve water supply forecasting capabilities by identifying locations with unique snowpack dynamics and testing the potential for snow water equivalent data from these locations to enhance forecasting models. The funding supports the acquisition of aerial LiDAR snow survey data...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,060,448 Cooperative Agreement on December 20, 2023, under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado. This grant aims to improve water supply forecasts by enhancing snow monitoring through the deployment of emerging technologies, such as airborne LiDAR, and better integration of snow data into forecasting models. The project has two sub-awards - one to Oregon State University to assist in...
The federal Project Grant award of $574,902 from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will support the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute in developing a decision support framework to communicate the risk of significant rain-on-snow runoff events in the Mokelumne River watershed. The project aims to integrate tools that will help optimize water resource management and ensure the safe conveyance and...
This $645,270 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) will fund the incorporation of remotely sensed surface and atmospheric variables into a spatially distributed, process-based snowmelt model. The award will support postdoctoral researchers to implement model updates and assess improvements, with the objective of advancing the physically-based and distributed modeling...
This $621,463 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes (CFDA 15.805) program aims to improve national-scale estimates of poorly constrained water budget components. The award to Oregon State University (OSU) will leverage precipitation stable isotope data and hydrologic models to diagnose biases in evaporation and transpiration fluxes within advanced operational models. The project will focus on four...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078), aims to improve water supply forecasting capabilities through advanced snow monitoring techniques. The $1,175,151.46 project, awarded to Oregon State University, has two main objectives: (1) fusing LiDAR (high spatial resolution, low temporal resolution) data with in-situ community snow measurements (low spatial resolution, high...
This $619,990 Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), supports the development of a comprehensive hydrologic modeling framework to enhance flood resilience and water resource management in the Willamette River Basin. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collection and integration of atmospheric, streamflow, and other observational data to develop and calibrate a...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $783,962 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to Water District 63 in Idaho.
