This grant is for investigating the long-term effects of RO concentrate on Atriplex species, soil characteristics, and microbial habitats. The study, conducted in collaboration with NMSU and BGNDRF in Alamogordo, New Mexico, aims to determine if dry land applications of RO concentrate can be successfully managed using native halophytes. The research also seeks to evaluate the impact on soil quality and the potential use of native plants for cattle feed. Supported by ranchers, this project benefits Reclamation by identifying sustainable solutions for concentrate discharge and building upon previous work at BGNDRF.

| Description: | This research will evaluate and determine if dry land applications of RO concentrate can be managed with native halophytes for economic and environmental benefits. This Research will be conducted at the Bureau of Reclamation Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Working with NMSU and BGNDRF, with preliminary data collected by ASU, this study will further evaluate soil impacts and native plant quality for cattle feed. This research has rancher support and benefits Reclamation by determining viable alternatives for concentrate discharge. The research will be conducted at BGNDRF, where the halophyte field has been established by the previous work conducted by ASU. |
