About this award

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,133,442 Project Grant under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507) to the Cameron County Irrigation District C-15 in Texas. The grant will fund the conversion of 5,207 linear feet of unlined open canal in a segment of Lateral 15 to a buried polyvinyl chloride pipeline. This project is expected to result in annual water savings of 390 acre-feet that would have otherwise been lost to evaporation and seepage, thereby decreasing the amount of water pumped from the Rio Grande and leaving more water for habitat, including a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge. The grant award has a performance period from January 16, 2025 to September 30, 2026.
