The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $407,408 Project Grant to the Mojave Water Agency (MWA) in Apple Valley, California under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The funding will support MWA's efforts to update its existing regional groundwater conceptual model, which has not been updated since 2000. By incorporating current data from climate change models, demand projections, water rates, and a surface water component, as well as incorporating artificial intelligence, MWA will...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $393,724 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The grant will fund the collection of groundwater flux and geophysical data to improve the integrated hydrological modeling for the Socorro Reach of the Middle Rio Grande. The key objectives are to measure the flux of drainage groundwater entering the surface-water system, partition the groundwater discharge into different...
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 $290,925 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve understanding of the impacts of managed aquifer recharge on water availability in California's Central Valley. The project, led by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, leverages airborne geophysical surveys and advanced computer modeling to investigate how water moves through the regional aquifer system and how the expansion of managed aquifer recharge will...
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 Department of the Interior's 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) to develop next-generation water data management tools and improve access to water resources data for the Roswell Artesian Basin. The project, to be conducted in partnership with the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District, will create advanced data integration, water data...
This $893,000 Project Grant was awarded on September 17, 2024 by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The grant was awarded to the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency (YSGA) to support the development of management strategies to help its 26 member agencies and affiliated parties reduce the impacts of future droughts in the Yolo Subbasin. Key activities under this grant include: improving the YSGA's surface...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,145,949 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to Reclamation District 108 in Colusa County, California. The grant funding will be used to improve access to and use of water resource data, as well as enhance modeling capabilities to inform regional groundwater recharge and conjunctive use programs. Specifically, the project will expand Dunnigan Water District's existing groundwater monitoring network and improve on-farm surface...
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 $545,605 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) to develop improved reservoir management tools and procedures. The goal is to enhance water supply reliability at the Nacimiento and San Antonio Dams and Reservoirs in California. The project will evaluate existing reservoir inflow and outflow forecasting models to determine alternative management strategies and tools for...
