Bureau of Reclamation
The WaterSMART Drought Response Program initiates applications for its Drought Resiliency Projects for Fiscal Year 2025, aimed at enhancing drought preparedness and resilience. The program, led by the Bureau of Reclamation, seeks to support communities across the Western United States affected by drought. This opportunity focuses on two main project categories: Drought Resiliency Projects (Tasks A-C) and Domestic Water Supply Projects (Task D). The former involves projects that enhance water supply reliability and drought resilience, while the latter centers on planning and implementing domestic water supply projects for disadvantaged communities. For Drought Resiliency Projects, eligible applicants include states, tribes, irrigation districts, and water districts, along with other organizations possessing water or power delivery authority. These applicants must be based in specific states or territories, including Alaska, California, and New Mexico. Category B applicants, comprising non-profit conservation organizations, must partner with an eligible Category A entity. On the other hand, Domestic Water Supply Projects are open to states, tribes, and organizations with water or power delivery responsibilities in particular states, such as Arizona, California, and Oregon. Applicants should carefully review the eligibility criteria for each task, as requirements vary. Eligible participants must submit applications by the specified deadline, with a close date of October 7th, 2024. The Bureau of Reclamation emphasizes collaboration in addressing drought challenges and encourages applicants to propose innovative solutions. The evaluation of applications will consider factors such as the project's relevance, technical merit, and cost-effectiveness.
