The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) will receive $540,365 from the Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program to expand the forecasting capabilities of the Lakes Mead and Mohave Model (LM3). The LM3 is a 3D hydrodynamic and water quality model encompassing Lakes Mead, the Colorado River below Hoover Dam, and Lake Mohave. SNWA will update the LM3 monthly using new Colorado River Management Model Simulation and Effects Program projections released by Reclamation. The...
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 $133,700 Project Grant under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on July 17, 2024. The funding supports a research project that will explore incorporating a Many Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) analytical approach into Reclamation's midterm (2-5 year) operational projections for the Colorado River system. This approach aims to provide more robust and nuanced insights into...
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...
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 $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 University of Arizona, through a $996,526.93 Cooperative Agreement award from the Bureau of Reclamation under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078), will use a 40-year snowpack dataset and newly developed regression modeling and machine learning techniques to enhance water supply forecasts across the Colorado River Basin. Specifically, the project will incorporate improved snowpack data and model optimizations into the National Resources Conservation Networks'...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $553,980 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District (UYWCD) located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The primary goal of this 26-month project is to create a forecasting tool for the Yampa River Basin that provides projected streamflow conditions, reservoir yields, environmental flow impacts, and water rights availability. This will be achieved by integrating a streamflow forecasting...
The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) was awarded a $2,660,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504) to expand water reuse efforts in the Colorado River Basin. The funding will support initial planning and design activities for a project to recycle wastewater from the City of Boulder City, contributing over 800 acre-feet annually to direct or indirect reuse, and reducing water losses to evaporation. Key...
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California was awarded a $520,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to expand surface water flow and temperature modeling capabilities for California's Central Valley.
