This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program provides $284,560 to the Regents of the University of Idaho to develop an approach for evaluating river reaches that are prone to the formation and accumulation of frazil ice in the lower Lemhi River. The award supports activities to study the hydromorphological and meteorological conditions that contribute to frazil ice formation and...
This $181,194 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) will fund research by the Regents of the University of Idaho to investigate the mechanics of bedrock erosion in unlined spillways of dams. The research will utilize numerical modeling and laboratory experiments to study the flow fields around bedrock blocks and the primary erosional mechanism of block plucking, which is critical for improving models of...
The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $618,648 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to improve hydrological predictions across the continental United States through better characterization of below-ground soil-vegetation processes. The 3-year project aims to enhance water budget predictions by: 1) constraining root zone storage capacity, 2) improving modeling of plant hydraulic...
The University of Idaho will receive $249,998 under a cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey to develop a new technique for remotely estimating river discharge using simple measurements from remote sensing imagery. The research will be conducted from February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2026 under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The researchers will first quantify the accuracy of the new remote sensing technique against direct...
The Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey awarded a $259,359 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of Idaho under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The project aims to develop and validate a heat-pulse groundwater flowmeter that can measure all three velocity components with hourly time resolution, enabling long-term deployments in groundwater monitoring wells. The University of Idaho will collaborate with Rapid...

The grant funding will support the expansion of data monitoring and collection on the Boise River to improve water management and avoid supply shortages within the watershed. Key products and services to be delivered include: Enhancing drain monitoring data collection and making the real-time data available to water managers and the public...
This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Aquatic Resources Management program (CFDA 15.244), provides $250,000 in funding to the University of Idaho to develop decision-support tools for BLM to evaluate and prioritize conservation and restoration activities related to aquatic and riparian habitats in the Lower Henry's Fork Snake River Corridor in Idaho. The key products to be delivered under this five-year project...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Cooperative Watershed Management Program (CFDA 15.554) to the City of Pocatello, Idaho, doing business as Pocatello-Vision 12. The funding will support the Portneuf Watershed Partnership's efforts to expand stakeholder engagement, update the existing watershed restoration plan, and develop a predictive stream flow model for the Portneuf River watershed. The project aims to address resource concerns in the watershed, including...
The City of Pocatello was awarded a $522,500 WaterSMART grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation to design the Portneuf River Oxbow Restoration Project. This project will reactivate over 100 acres of floodplain along the Portneuf River by constructing diversions under railroad tracks and grading adjacent lands to reconnect wetlands, improve water quality, and reduce flood risks. The design work will help the city address goals outlined in the 2016 Portneuf River...
