I. Abstract
The USGS is working with State
Water Resource agencies to operate a
Water Use Data and Research program
(WUDR). Section 9508 of the SECURE
Water Act directs the Secretary of the
Interior to administer grants to State
water resource agencies to assist in
developing water use and availability
datasets that are integrated with each
appropriate dataset developed or
maintained by the Secretary or grants
that integrate any water use or water
availability dataset of the State water
resource agency into each appropriate
dataset developed or maintained by the
Secretary. Responsibility for
administration of this State Water Use
Grants program has been delegated to
the U.S. Geological Survey. State Water
Use Grants will be used to improve the
collection and reporting of water use
categories by State agencies, including
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the inclusion of categories that have
been discontinued in the past due to
limited resources. The total authorized
funding for the State Water Use Grants
program is $12,500,000 for a period of
five years.
In FY15 grant funds will be awarded
non-competitively, with all 50 states
receiving awards ($26,000 each) to
develop workplans that outline
priorities for use of grant funds, with the
goal of States reporting, to the USGS,
withdrawal and ancillary information
for each major category of water use that
improve national water withdrawal and
consumptive use estimates. The USGS
has developed a draft baseline standard
table for all water use categories and
will require that States identify current
data collection levels (tiers) for each
category as part of workplan
development. States will be required to
use these standards to identify
categories for improvement in data
collection and/or research activities that
improve data estimation techniques
nationally. For States that already meet
the baseline standards, goals are
provided in Tier 2 and 3 for additional
data that would benefit national
estimates and provide information for
water availability studies by water
managers, academia, federal, and or
local agencies. In order to receive
awards as part of the competitive
process beginning in FY16, States must
submit a completed workplan.
Beginning in FY16 grant funds will be
announced and awarded as part of a
competitive process that will be guided,
annually, by a technical committee
whose members will include
representatives from the stakeholder
community as well as USGS. State Grant
funds will be coordinated with a single
agency in each State and the USGS is
working, through the USGS Regional
Water Use Specialists, to identify which
agencies will be the lead contact in each
State. Collaboration and coordination
with USGS personnel will be required
as part of the Grants program. Data must
be stored electronically and made
available at the HUC–8 and county level
in formats appropriate for existing
USGS databases. Additionally, methods
used for data collection (estimated
values, coefficients, etc.) and a
description of data quality assurance
and control will be required.
