- 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 U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,224,295 project grant to the Desert Water Agency, a local government entity in southern California. This grant, funded through the Bureau's WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507), will support the final phase of the agency's Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) installation project. Specifically, the grant will enable the Desert Water Agency to equip the remaining 205 meters...
- The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District, in collaboration with California State University, Sacramento, received a $826,742 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The grant funding will be used to enhance the existing Integrated Santa Ana River Model, a combined groundwater and surface water model that is a foundational tool for water management in the Upper Santa Ana River Watershed and San...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507) to the Fresno Irrigation District in Fresno, California. The grant will fund the installation of water meters on 20 existing groundwater wells to provide landowners with data on water usage and enable better management of groundwater consumption when surface water is unavailable. This project supports the district's water management and drought resilience...
- The Tulare Irrigation District in California was awarded a $520,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to develop an advanced online geographic information system (GIS) data management, modeling, and forecasting tool. This tool will elevate the efficiency of surface water and groundwater operations, enabling improved real-time water resource management in the region. The project aims to better...
