The investment will go toward upgrading water management infrastructure.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) announced that $55 million is now available for a variety of Western drought resiliency projects. Eligible projects include recharging aquifers, advancing water recycling and treatment technologies, and developing new infrastructure for Tribal and disadvantaged communities. Applications for this grant funding are open from now until October 7.
“Through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the Department is making transformational investments to develop resilient water supplies that will safeguard western communities in the wake of severe drought conditions for generations to come,” said Secretary Deb Haaland. “Today’s announcement will advance innovative solutions and help to build resilient communities.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Haaland to be led by God as she oversees the allotment of water conservation and recycling project investments.
- For Interior Department officials as they promote innovation and technological upgrades for water supply management.
