This grant, offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, is for the purpose of enhancing groundwater management across the Western US. It aims to develop a comprehensive framework and a sustainability index to evaluate aquifer sustainability, particularly in areas impacted by regulated river systems. The framework will be broadly applicable to water systems throughout the Western US, with an initial focus on four specific Reclamation project areas serving as practical examples. This initiative, developed under a cooperative agreement with the University of Idaho, seeks to provide essential tools for understanding and preserving vital groundwater resources, ensuring their long-term viability.
