The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $20,935,318 project grant to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514). The funds will support LADWP's construction of a stormwater capture project in Los Angeles, California, consisting of a storm drain diversion, hydrodynamic separator, and subterranean infiltration gallery. This project is expected to add an estimated 136 acre-feet per year to local groundwater supplies, helping to alleviate drought conditions and improve sustainable basin health. The award was made on February 13, 2025, with a targeted completion date of December 31, 2027. This grant supports LADWP's efforts to build water supply resilience for Los Angeles residents through permanent water use efficiency and preparedness for future water resource variability.
