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...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District (GCD) in Texas. The purpose of the grant is to develop a local-scale groundwater availability and flow model to improve the GCD's ability to accurately predict the impacts of groundwater production, both within the district and regionally, on local groundwater levels and water quality. The model will enable the GCD and its...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $377,502 Project Grant under its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop the next generation of three water and data management tools to improve access to water resources data for the Roswell Artesian Basin. The project, conducted in partnership with the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District, aims to enhance data integration, the Next...
This $545,605 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will enable the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) to develop advanced tools and procedures to enhance water supply reliability at the Nacimiento and San Antonio Dams and reservoirs in California. The project will leverage improvements in reservoir modeling and forecasting technology to evaluate existing inflow and outflow forecasting models, and then design...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $897,408 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Mojave Water Agency Public Facilities Corporation in California. The grant supports a 5-year plan to identify surface water and groundwater recharge data gaps, prioritize opportunities for ephemeral-wash recharge areas, and provide recharge and runoff estimates for inclusion in groundwater modeling. Key project activities include conducting surface geophysical surveys,...
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...
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...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $219,647.30 WaterSMART Program (CFDA 15.507) Project Grant to the Moapa Valley Water District in Clark County, Nevada. The grant will fund the upgrade of 350 domestic water meters with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that includes cellular endpoints. This technology will provide the water district and its customers with detailed water usage data to improve water management and distribution system efficiency. The project...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the CFDA 15.557 Applied Science Grants program provides $765,109 to Washington State University to enhance decision-support capabilities related to groundwater management in the Columbia Plateau region aquifer system. The project aims to convert an existing regional groundwater flow model from an annual to a monthly time step, improve irrigation demand estimates, and incorporate climate...
