News release: Grant to help water supply forecasting
The El Dorado Water Agency has been awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Drought Response Program: Drought Resiliency Projects. EDWA’s proposed project is for an intelligent hydroclimatic information system for water and power management in the American River Basin and was one of 18 projects selected in the Western United States. This project will provide critical real-time data and support water supply forecasting needed to help the region better prepare for, identify and respond to drought.
