The Commission anticipates awarding approximately $4 million to $6 million yearly in total grant funding, with anticipated individual project awards of $100,000 or more for projects that improve drought resilience.
Awardees will use the funding to reduce water use or enhance supply, therefore helping to protect public health and safety, avoid water use conflicts, prevent water quality impacts, support economic production and sustain ecological flows.
Consumptive use refers to water that is used but not returned to rivers and streams because it is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise lost. The grants are funded by fees paid by regulated projects as mitigation for their consumptive water use.
