The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $897,408 Project Grant to the Mojave Water Agency under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The funding supports a 5-year plan to identify surface water and groundwater recharge data gaps, prioritize opportunities for monitoring well installation and gaging stations, and provide recharge and runoff estimates for groundwater modeling in the Mojave Basin. Key project activities include conducting surface geophysical surveys, constructing monitoring...
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 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...
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 enhance water management and modeling capabilities in the Lower Colorado River Basin. The project will take a "backcasting" approach, wherein the team will rigorously define scenarios likely to cause problems for water managers and supplies, and then run model simulations to uncover the key drivers behind such problematic...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $545,605 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) on September 19, 2024. The grant will support the development of tools and procedures to enhance water supply reliability at the Nacimiento and San Antonio Dams and Reservoirs in California. Specifically, the project will evaluate existing reservoir inflow and outflow forecasting models to determine alternative management...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $377,502 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech).
