Opportunity Information: Apply for R15AS00047
The WaterSMART Drought Contingency Planning Grants for Fiscal Year 2015 are offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's WaterSMART Program, which focuses on promoting efficient water use and coordinating conservation efforts across various federal agencies. This initiative is especially relevant as many areas in the western U.S. face severe drought conditions, exacerbated by climate change.
The Bureau of Reclamation, as the country’s largest wholesale water supplier, plays a key role in this program. The Drought Response Program has been created to help states, tribes, and local governments prepare for and manage drought effectively. The program emphasizes a proactive stance by offering support in three main areas: developing and updating comprehensive drought plans, implementing projects that enhance long-term drought resiliency, and executing emergency response actions.
The current funding opportunity specifically targets the development and updating of Drought Contingency Plans aimed at enhancing resilience to drought and climate change over the long term. More details can be found on the websites for the Drought Response Program and the WaterSMART Program.Apply for R15AS00047
