| Description:: | The Bureau of Reclamations Upper Colorado Region is requesting applications for the Water Conservation Field Service Program (WCFSP). Many, if not most, of the Bureau of Reclamation projects in the Upper Colorado Region have been in operation for several decades and are still using practices and procedures that represent state-of-the-art technology at the time the project was constructed. Much can be done to advance these projects to 2000’s technology with the accompanying increase in water use efficiency. Likewise, per capita urban water use in various locations within the Upper Colorado Region is among the highest in the nation.
Reclamation has financial assistance available in the form of grants and cooperative agreements for water conservation activities. Applications are now being accepted from those entities wishing to receive financial assistance from the Water Conservation Field Services Program for fiscal year 2012. |
