Department of Water Resources offers drought relief grants
“The Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced the release of guidelines and a proposal solicitation package to distribute $200 million in funding available to communities and organizations.
Through its Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant Program, DWR seeks to help communities facing the loss or contamination of their water supplies due to drought, a news release from the agency said. At least $50 million will be set aside to support underrepresented communities and Native American tribes.
Funding is also available for public agencies, public utilities, special districts, nonprofit organizations, mutual water companies, colleges, and regional water management groups, the agency said.”
