Project Grant R25AP00616
- This $382,843.68 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through the CFDA 15.557 Applied Science Grants program. The grant will enable Utah State University, in partnership with multiple Utah state agencies, to enhance an existing platform from a 2-year timescale to multi-year-to-decadal timescale forecasting tools for the Colorado River water supply. The project aims to provide a future perspective on persistent drought threats and support...
- This $120,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2023 by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The grant supports the Gila River Basin Native Fishes Conservation Program, which aims to conserve and recover native fish species in the Gila River Basin through genetic analysis and population assessment work. Specifically, the grant funds three tasks to be performed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research: 1)...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $499,681.45, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The project aims to quantify and project the water budget across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) using a hierarchical modeling framework. Key objectives include: Quantifying water budget components by leveraging hydrological experiments, applying machine learning algorithms to inform soil properties, and employing...
- This $430,230 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a 3-year research project at the University of Arizona to develop the next generation of U.S. water accounting and natural capital accounting methods. The key products and services to be delivered include: Spatially disaggregating USGS water use datasets from 2000-2015 into a high-resolution 30-meter raster data product...
- This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program provides $162,852.83 to Utah State University (USU) for a 3-year project period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The purpose of the award is to conduct research on red shiner populations and production of YY fishes for nuisance population control. Key activities include: Determining if other red shiner populations share the same genetic markers...
- The federal Project Grant award of $999,091 from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will support research to quantify field to basin-scale water needs and evaluate the conserved consumptive water use from previous water conservation investments in the Southwest and Southern Plains regions. The goal is to understand realistic water savings from conservation investments in these areas facing increasing droughts and...
- This $959,925.80 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (CFDA 15.517) program. The grant supports the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (JSRIP) through several key activities: common carp research, monitoring, and control on Utah Lake; evaluating and implementing strategies to control the northern pike population in Utah Lake; restoring June sucker habitat in Utah Lake; removing or rebuilding...
- The federal Cooperative Agreement award (ID R24AC00114), funded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), provides $142,424 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (DBA University of Colorado) to conduct research on river and floodplain dynamics, geomorphic and ecological processes, and the impact of beaver on sedimentation rates and sediment storage. Key activities include desktop and field data collection, modeling sedimentation...
- The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $133,700 Project Grant under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on July 17, 2024. The funding supports a research project that will explore incorporating a Many Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) analytical approach into Reclamation's midterm (2-5 year) operational projections for the Colorado River system. This approach aims to provide more robust and nuanced insights into...
- This $527,360 Project Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will fund research to support evidence-based policymaking for agricultural water conservation. The key objectives of the 3-year project include: 1) collecting irrigation water rights and runoff data to create a geospatial database, 2) exploring the impact of water rights and supply uncertainty on...
This $611,267.09 federal Project Grant awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program will fund research and technical services provided by Utah State University (USU). The grant will support: 1) hiring a master's student to investigate the reproductive biology of green sunfish and potential environmental factors, and 2) hiring a PhD student to compile existing data, conduct surveys, and incorporate information on the interconnectivity of red shiner populations in the Verde River and Virgin River into eradication strategy simulations. This work aims to advance water resource conservation, efficiency, and management efforts in the western United States. The project period runs from September 2, 2025 to September 30, 2030.
