WRRC professionals, Susanna Eden and Jackie Moxley, and Director Sharon Megdal have been awarded $86,567 from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Landscape Conservation Cooperative Science Projects funding through the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) Program. It was one of nine projects funded across the Western States. The two-year project, Utility Guide to Rainwater/Stormwater Harvesting as an Adaptive Response to Climate Change, will develop a decision support tool to be used by public utilities and agencies to evaluate suitability and cost-effectiveness of rainwater and stormwater capture at various scales for multiple benefits. The project will investigate potential benefits of additional supply, reductions to flooding and other water resource management issues, in addition to water conservation.
