About this program
The Watershed Resilience Conservation Implementation grant program funds projects that reduce water use and improve water efficiency, helping communities save water and build resilience to drought and supply shortages.
The purpose of this program is to fund the implementation of practical water conservation projects that reduce water demand and improve efficiency at the watershed scale. The program supports grantees in carrying out actions such as irrigation efficiency upgrades, leak detection and repair, water-efficient landscaping conversions, metering and monitoring improvements, and other measures that directly reduce water consumption. A concept proposal will be required ahead of a full applications. We anticipate accepting concepts in 2027.
Run federal grants too?
State grants are free to browse and are not part of member fit-scoring, alerts, or the Tuesday digest — those cover federal grants. Members get every federal grant that opens fit-scored to their organization (the home page defines exactly what the board covers) — with an alert when a real match posts.
