Region 7 Department is offering a grant to develop a manual aimed at defining critical areas in watersheds using Geospatial Information. This grant focuses on assisting watershed practitioners in identifying high priority areas and targeting best management practices efficiently, ultimately improving water quality. Applicants should have prior experience in watershed assessment and critical area definition. The goal of the grant is to provide education and transfer of technology to enable other watershed groups to reach their water quality goals effectively. Closing date for applications is Apr 21, 2008.

| Description: | Grants awarded under this announcement may involve Geospatial Information. Region 7 will award a project under this announcement that an applicant will develop a step-by-step manual for defining critical areas and targeting best management practices (BMPs) for watershed practioners to target resources to achieve water quality environmental results. Identification of high priority areas within each watershed provides the most cost effective mechanism for attaining water quality goals and should be included early in the assessment and planning stages of all watershed implementation plans. Consequently, watershed groups know exactly what BMPs are needed and the precise location to install them to efficiently reach their water quality goals. The RFP is intended for an applicant that has completed a watershed assessment and has defined their critical areas to target best management practices in their watershed. The goal is the development of a manual to provide education and technology transfer to other watershed groups or watershed practioners. |
