This Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514), provides $540,067 to support the development of the Icicle Creek Decision Support Tool. This tool will assist the Icicle Work Group in implementing its Icicle Strategy and provide a sophisticated methodology for water management and decision-making on Icicle Creek, a major tributary to the Wenatchee River in Chelan County, Washington. The project includes data collection, planning for a hydrology model and optimization of alpine lake releases, and the development of a software platform for the decision support tool. This work will lay the foundation for improving the sequencing and magnitude of water releases from alpine lakes in the Icicle Creek basin, benefiting irrigation, fish propagation, and instream flows. The project is being led by the Chelan County Natural Resource Department and is scheduled for completion by September 2027.
