CALFED
Water Use Efficiency Grant Program
The CALFED Water Use Efficiency Grant Program (WUE) was established to develop
a long-term comprehensive plan that will restore ecological health and improve
water management for beneficial uses of the Bay-Delta system. A key element in
of the CALFED program and mission is water use efficiency. The goal of the WUE
Grant Program is to accelerate the implementation of cost-effective actions that
provide state-wide benefits through water conservation. Water use efficiency
can reduce the demand for Bay-Delta water and can result in significant benefits
to water quality, water supply reliability, and in stream flows. 2006

Water
2025 Grant Program
Water 2025 focuses on stretching existing water supplies through collaboration,
technology and innovative, market-based solutions. It is designed to produce
results and demonstrate investments that can help in preventing crises and conflict
in the West. By working with irrigation and water districts, Western States,
Tribes, and other local entities to develop innovative on-the-ground solutions
to water supply problems, competing interests can be brought together to find
collaborative, local solutions for the future. Through the Water
2025 Challenge Grant Program, Reclamation enters into collaborative partnerships
with local entities on a 50/50 cost-share basis to implement projects that will
stretch water resources through conservation, efficiency and water marketing.
