Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation of approaches to determine mixing and assimilation of reuse effluent" (Funding Opportunity Number R16AC00007) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR) discretionary funding announcement focused on science and technology research related to recycled (reuse) water behavior in reservoirs. Structured as a cooperative agreement, it supports a single expected award with a maximum funding level of $10,000. The opportunity was posted and created on February 16, 2016, with an application deadline of March 1, 2016, and it is associated with CFDA 15.560.
The work described centers on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) conducting a targeted assessment of existing scientific and technical literature on how recycled water is modeled once it enters reservoir systems, with particular attention to the processes that control mixing and assimilation of reuse effluent. Rather than funding a large field campaign or full model build-out, the main deliverables are (1) a literature-based synthesis of current methods and findings relevant to reservoir mixing of recycled water and (2) development of a detailed Science and Technology (ST) proposal to be submitted in the Bureau of Reclamation's 2017 ST proposal cycle. In practical terms, this funding appears designed to support the groundwork needed to shape a stronger, more comprehensive follow-on research proposal by ensuring it is aligned with the latest peer-reviewed evidence and established modeling approaches.
A key feature of the project is the collaborative structure implied by the cooperative agreement. UNLV staff provide academic oversight and technical expertise, while Reclamation technical staff based in Denver, Colorado contribute agency perspective, operational context, and coordination with Reclamation needs. The description also highlights UNLV's active and relevant experience: the university is working with the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) to simulate limnologic conditions in Lake Mead (Nevada/Arizona), and it has demonstrated expertise in recycled water mixing dynamics through work connected to San Vicente Reservoir in San Diego County, California. Those two reservoirs serve as experience anchors, giving UNLV practical familiarity with stratification, circulation, and water-quality processes that influence how introduced waters disperse and integrate over time.
The intended impact is to leverage UNLV's reservoir and recycled water mixing expertise to improve understanding of recycled water mixing issues relevant to Reclamation's Oklahoma-Texas area office. While the notice does not spell out a specific site in the Oklahoma-Texas region, it makes clear that the literature review and subsequent proposal development are meant to inform Reclamation decision-making and future research planning on how reuse effluent behaves in reservoirs, including how it blends, where it concentrates under different conditions, and how it becomes assimilated within the larger water body. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, focused planning and synthesis award that connects academic expertise with federal technical staff to set up a stronger, evidence-based research effort in the next ST funding cycle.
