The Mid-Pacific Region of Reclamation has three water conservation grant programs to establish these partnerships, which provide funding opportunities for infrastructure improvements and delivery flexibility including, but not limited to, activities such as canal lining and piping, system automation, and water banks. Funding opportunities include the Water Conservation Field Services Program, the CALFED Water Use Efficiency Program, and the Water Marketing and Efficiency Challenge Grants. Each grant program has a unique focus while contributing to the overarching goal of water conservation. These grant programs provide tools to urban and agricultural delivery entities to manage their water more effectively, and thus use the same amount of water to meet additional or unmet needs or conserve by decreasing consumptive use.born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
