Reclamations UC Region is offering a grant for salinity control projects aimed at reducing salinity contributions to the Colorado River system. The projects should focus on reducing salt from saline springs, leaking wells, irrigation sources, municipal and industrial sources, and erosion of land. This grant specifically targets irrigation-related projects that minimize salt from delivery systems like canals, ditches, or laterals. Joint projects involving on-farm application systems are not eligible, but projects facilitating on-farm work may receive a higher rating during evaluation. Applications are accepted until Nov 16, 2012.
