Water Conservation, Reuse and Storage Grant Program
|
|
The Water Conservation, Re-use and Storage Grant Program, established by Senate Bill 1069 (2008), is designed to fund the qualifying costs of planning studies, up to $500,000 per project, that evaluate the feasibility of developing water conservation, re-use or storage projects. The 2011 Legislature approved continuation of this grant program for the 2011-13 biennium. Applications for projects under $250,000 were accepted by the Department. Grants were funded by Statewide Lottery-backed bonds scheduled to be issued in May 2012.

Oregon Water Supply and Conservation Initiative
|
|
The Oregon Water Resources Department (the Department) recognizes that water resources needs in Oregon are many, while our resources are finite. The Oregon Water Supply and Conservation Initiative gives the Department an opportunity to take a bird’s eye view of water demands and water availability throughout the state, and to strategically develop the tools, methodologies, and budgets required to ensure that those who need water—both in-stream and out-of-stream—will have access to the resource for generations to come.
