[미국] 용수 효율 보조금으로 150만 달러 지급

Bureau of Reclamation은 2017년 회계 연도에 CALFED 용수 효율 보조금으로 총 150만 달러를 받기 위한 두 개의 캘리포니아 프로젝트를 선정했다고 발표했다. 현지 비용 분담금과 함께 이 프로젝트들은 향후 24개월 동안 약 690만 달러를 들여 물관리 개선을 실시할 예정이다.

이 프로젝트는 생태계 건강, 상수도 안정성 및 수질 개선을 목표로 하는 CALFED Bay-Delta 프로그램에 기여하여 연간 약 733에이커 피트의 물을 절약할 수 있다. 캘리포니아 및 연방 기관은 30년 프로그램(2000∼2030년)의 파트너이다.

RECLAMATION ANNOUNCES $1.5 MILLION IN WATER USE EFFICIENCY GRANTS

The Bureau of Reclamation announced it has selected two California projects to receive $1.5 million total in CALFED Water Use Efficiency grants for fiscal year 2017. Combined with local cost-share contributions, these projects are expected to implement about $6.9 million in water management improvements during the next 24 months.

The projects will conserve an estimated 733 acre-feet per year of water, contributing to the CALFED Bay-Delta Program objectives of improving ecosystem health, water supply reliability and water quality. California and federal agencies are partners in the 30-year program (2000-2030).

 
Reclamation made the selection through a competitive process, giving priority consideration to projects that address CALFED goals on a statewide basis. Here's a closer look at the two selected applicants and projects:

Santa Margarita Water District, $750,000 The district will expand the existing 3A Water Reclamation Plant to provide up to 3,000 acre-feet per year of recycled water and energy savings. The project includes construction for expanding the existing facility. Annual water savings will be 390 acre-feet per year; lifetime water savings will be 19,500 acre-feet. Total project cost is $5,080,000 with a federal cost-share of $750,000.

Semitropic Water Storage District, $750,000 The district will install a 1.5-mile long, 30 cubic feet per second, 36-inch diameter, bi-directional, intertie pipeline. The intertie pipeline will allow for the efficient conveyance of surface water supplies to spreading ground facilities located in Semitropic and the adjacent Shafter-Wasco Irrigation District. Annual water savings will be 343 acre-feet per year; lifetime water savings will be 17,000 acre-feet. Total project cost is $1,850,000 with a federal cost-share of $750,000.
