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...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557), provides $401,282 to Oklahoma State University to generate agricultural groundwater withdrawal data across the Upper Red River Basin. The key objectives are to: (1) estimate the number of active irrigation wells using various data sources, (2) provide annual high-resolution remote sensing observations of groundwater storage, and (3) apply a spatial...
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 California Water Data Consortium was awarded a $509,551 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to enhance an open-source water accounting platform. The platform will serve as a baseline groundwater accounting and tracking tool for Groundwater Sustainability Agencies across California to improve access to water elevation and extraction data, water accounting systems, and scenario planning and...
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. 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 the Mojave Water Agency (MWA) a $407,408 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to update the agency's existing groundwater conceptual model. The funding will enable MWA to incorporate current data from climate change models, demand projections, and water rates, as well as add a surface water component and leverage artificial intelligence, resulting in a comprehensive decision-making tool for planning and optimizing the use of...
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 Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD) received a $400,255 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The funding will support a comprehensive groundwater study around the Gunlock Reservoir in Washington County, Utah to characterize the aquifer recharge and determine the sustainable yield. The project will involve compiling and reviewing existing data, assessing groundwater and...
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...
