Description
The
objective of this opportunity is to invite eligible non-Federal entities to
leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on applied
science projects to develop hydrologic information and water management tools
and improve modeling and forecasting capabilities. Results from these projects
will be used by water managers to increase water supply reliability, provide
flexibility in water operations, and improve water management. Project results
must be readily applicable by water managers, resulting in tools and information
that can be used to: support water supply reliability, management of water
deliveries, water marketing activities, drought management activities,
conjunctive use of ground and surface water, water rights administration,
ability to meet endangered species requirements, watershed health, conservation
and efficiency, and other water management
objectives.

Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington,
Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin
Islands;
be based on known and
available (or mature) technologies and may not include the development of new
or novel methods or technologies;
Applicants
not located in one of the above locations must also include, as a
