Proposition 50 Water Use Efficiency Workshops Scheduled
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) will hold three
workshops to inform interested parties about the 2004 Water Use Efficiency
Proposal Solicitation Package (PSP). This grant program implements Chapter 7(g)
of Proposition 50, the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach
Protection Act of 2002, which authorizes DWR to administer a $120 million
agricultural and urban water conservation program. The program provides grants
for water use efficiency implementation projects as well as research and
development, feasibility studies, pilot, and demonstration projects.
The PSP is available and is posted on the DWR website: www.owue.water.ca.gov/finance/index.cfm.
Completed proposals are due by October 12, 2004. Interested parties need not
attend the workshops to submit proposals.
Persons representing cities, counties, joint power
authorities, public water districts, tribes, nonprofit organizations,
universities, colleges, State and federal agencies, and other entities involved
in water management are encouraged to attend.
