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 $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...
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...
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,...
This $1,800,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research led by the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and equitable access to safe drinking water. The research will integrate political and institutional feedback into simulation models to inform...
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...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $875,000 Project Grant on April 22, 2024 to the El Dorado County Water Agency under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). This funding will support the development of a permanent Wireless Sensor Network in the American River Basin to improve the reliability, timeliness, and accuracy of snowpack and runoff forecasting. The project partners with the University of California Merced, UC Davis, UC Agricultural and Natural Resources,...
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...
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...
