The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) published a NOFO for WaterSMART Drought Response Program: Drought Resiliency Projects. $10 million in funding is available for developing and updating comprehensive drought plans (Drought Contingency Planning) and implementing projects that will build long-term resilience to drought (Drought Resiliency Projects). The Project seeks to increase water supply reliability through investments in existing infrastructure and attention to local water conflicts. Collaboration is essential to identifying successful strategies to address complex water management issues. Applications are due by October 7, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern.
