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 Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557), provides $533,315 to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi to develop a reservoir storage forecasting system for the Nueces River Basin in Texas. The project aims to integrate hydrologic modeling, satellite remote sensing, weather forecasting, and climate change projections to create probabilistic forecasts of reservoir storage levels over...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $377,502 Project Grant under its Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop the next generation of three water and data management tools to improve access to water resources data for the Roswell Artesian Basin. The project, conducted in partnership with the Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District, aims to enhance data integration, the Next...
This Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) provides $393,724 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to conduct a series of surveys in the San Acacia reach of the Middle Rio Grande. The objective is to measure the flux of drainage groundwater entering the surface-water system, partition the groundwater discharge into its different sources, and provide aquifer flux-boundary...
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 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 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) provides $1,086,960 to the State Engineer, New Mexico Office of the (Interstate Stream Commission) to fund a variety of initiatives to enhance drought resilience and water management in the Rio Grande Project area. Key products and services under this award include: Rapid assessment of existing stormwater infrastructure (dams,...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504), awarded a $986,750 Project Grant to the Laguna Madre Water District. The funding will support a feasibility study to assess the development of a seawater desalination water treatment facility. This facility could significantly reduce the water district's reliance on the Rio Grande and accommodate increasing water demands in the Cameron County community, while ensuring population growth...
