- The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,400,000 Project Grant under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CFDA 15.512) to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The 4-year grant, running from August 2024 to December 2028, will fund a study to quantify the full water budget and aquifer recharge for three different rice field management practices in California: growing rice, leaving fields fallow, and planting non-irrigated cover crops. The...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $4,082,015 Project Grant to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program (CFDA 15.580). The grant supports DWR's study and design of a habitat restoration project in the Sacramento Valley of northern Yolo County, California. The project aims to restore the historic footprint of the Colusa Basin Drain and reconnect the Sacramento River to its floodplain, providing critical spawning habitat for Chinook salmon and steelhead. Key activities include hydrodynamic modeling, data collection, and preliminary design of restoration features such as perimeter berms and water control structures to facilitate managed inundation. The restored floodplain habitat will support the full lifecycle and survival of all Chinook salmon and steelhead runs, while allowing for adaptive management during drought periods. The grant award has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2028.
