The Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Region is offering this grant through its Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) to address significant water use inefficiencies within the region. Many long-standing Bureau of Reclamation projects are still operating with decades-old technology, hindering optimal water use. This grant is for the purpose of modernizing these projects, bringing them up to current technological standards to significantly improve water use efficiency. Furthermore, it aims to tackle the exceptionally high per capita urban water consumption prevalent in various locations across the Upper Colorado Region, promoting more sustainable water management practices. The initiative seeks to ensure water resources are utilized more effectively across both agricultural and urban sectors.
