The Orland-Artois Water District (OAWD) received a $6,983,535 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514). The award will fund the OAWD Infrastructure Expansion Implementation Project, which aims to deliver supplemental surface water supplies to approximately 4,000 acres of farmland within the Central Valley Project area in Glenn County, California. The project will reduce groundwater pumping by 4,000 to 8,000 acre-feet per year and increase groundwater recharge through the use of new infrastructure, including a turnout from the Tehama-Colusa Canal, booster pumps, and pipeline expansions. This project is expected to enhance drought resiliency and flexibility in the region's water management practices. The award period is from July 2, 2025 to December 31, 2028.
