*********************************************************************************************
The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time. Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN).  With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here. If a link does not work, paste the URL into your browser.

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), an agency within the Department of the Interior (DOI), combines funding for multiple agency-wide programs promoting water conservation into a single program—the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage American Resources for Tomorrow) program. The program was formally established in 2010 under DOI Secretarial Order 3297. As of 2023, WaterSMART includes funding for seven subprograms: WaterSMART Grants, Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse (Title XVI Program), the Drought Response Program (DRP), the Basin Studies Program, the Cooperative Watershed Management Program, Water Conservation Field Services, and Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration. Unlike most traditional “Reclamation projects,” which are geographically specific authorizations, WaterSMART funding is awarded on a competitive basis.

Congress has increased funding for WaterSMART activities generally (Figure 1), including $1.85 billion in new funding for selected WaterSMART subprograms over the FY2022-FY2026 window in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58). This included significant new funding relative to baseline levels for WaterSMART Grants, water reuse and recycling projects under the Title XVI Program, the Cooperative Watershed Management Program, and Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration. For more information, see CRS Report R47032, Bureau of Reclamation Provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58

The remainder of this In Focus discusses the subprograms in the WaterSMART Program.

Title XVI projects, with 65 projects authorized through the WIIN Act authority as of May 2023.

WaterSMART Grants
Congress provided authority for the WaterSMART Grant Program in 2009 under P.L. 111-11, as amended (42 U.S.C. §10364). The program provides cost-shared funding in four grant categories: water and energy efficiency, small-scale water efficiency, water marketing strategy grants, and environmental water resources projects. The program’s initial focus was water and energy efficiency grants. Reclamation administratively added grant opportunities for small-scale water efficiency projects and water marketing strategy development in FY2017 and for environmental water resources projects in FY2022. The environmental water resources project grants also serve as a funding source for implementation of projects (i.e., phase two) that the Cooperative Watershed Management Program previously funded (see below section).

Eligible applicants for WaterSMART grants are the same across grant categories. They include domestic nonprofit conservation organizations and states, Indian tribes, and other organizations with water or power delivery authority. Applicants also must be located in a Reclamation State or Territory (as identified in the Reclamation Act of 1902, as amended) or in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico. WaterSMART grant award amounts may not exceed $5 million based on statute; however, the award amounts typically depend on project categories—water and energy efficiency grants awards range from $500,000 to $5 million; small-scale water efficiency grants are typically up to $100,000 (and may have maximum project costs of up to $250,000); water marketing strategy grants range from $200,000 to $400,000; and environmental water resources projects grants may be up to $3 million. Most of these grants limit the federal cost share for projects to 50%, except that environmental water resources projects developed as a part of a collaborative process may qualify for up to 75% in federal funding.

Title XVI Program
The Title XVI Program funds the study and construction of authorized nonfederal water recycling and reuse projects. The program originated with individual project authorizations authorized by Congress in P.L. 102-575 and has expanded over time. Amendments in the 2016 Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN Act; P.L. 114-322) created a new mechanism for authorization whereby the Secretary of the Interior may accept and review nonfederal feasibility studies for planning, design, and construction funding of projects. Once the Secretary has approved a project it is eligible to receive Title XVI Program funds (i.e., without additional congressional authorization). In the years since WIIN Act enactment, this authority has resulted in regular secretarial approval of new Title XVI projects are authorized for the Reclamation States and Territories and for Hawaii. The federal cost share for most Title XVI projects is generally limited to the lesser of $20 million or 25% of total project costs. In Section 40905 of the IIJA, Congress added new authority for “large-scale” water recycling and reuse projects, defined as projects with total construction costs in excess of $500 million. In contrast to traditional Title XVI projects, these projects can receive a federal cost share of 25%, with no dollar cap.

Drought Response Program
The DRP provides assistance to water managers dealing with drought in the West through three subprogram areas: Contingency Planning, Resiliency Projects, and Emergency Response Actions. Congress authorized emergency response and planning in the Reclamation States Drought Relief Act of 1991 (P.L. 102-250). In Section 9504 of P.L. 111-11, Congress enacted additional authority that Reclamation uses to fund resiliency projects (defined by Reclamation as on-the-ground projects that improve water management flexibility during periods of drought).

DRP project eligibility differs based on subprograms. Drought contingency planning project applicants may include Reclamation States and Hawaii, as well as tribes and organizations with water or power delivery authority located in the aforementioned areas. Resiliency project applicants generally include Reclamation States and Territories, Hawaii, and Alaska, as well as tribes, organizations with water or power delivery authority, and nonprofit conservation organizations located in the aforementioned areas. Emergency response applicants are limited to Reclamation States, Hawaii, and tribes in those states. The federal cost share for contingency planning and resiliency projects is typically limited to 50% of project costs. Emergency response actions do not require a federal cost share. Drought contingency planning projects are capped at $200,000 in federal funding, and resiliency projects are capped at $5 million in federal funding.

Basin Studies Program
Reclamation’s Basin Studies Program, authorized under Section 9503 of P.L. 111-11, partners with nonfederal participants in Reclamation States to analyze the impacts of climate change and develop adaptation strategies to address water supply and demand imbalances. It provides financial support for baseline assessments of risks and impacts to water supply and demand, the development of applied science tools, and collaborative efforts to evaluate and address supply and demand imbalances. The program also funds reservoir operation pilots that use modeling and forecasting to optimize water management flexibility.

Basin studies are conducted collaboratively by Reclamation, with federal costs limited to 50% (under extraordinary circumstances, this requirement may be waived by the Commissioner). Applied Science Grants similarly require a 50% cost share, whereas Baseline Assessments and Reservoir Operations Pilots have no formal cost share requirements. Eligible applicants for the Basin Studies Program may include a state, tribe, or other organization with water or power delivery authority in a Reclamation State. Applicants must submit a letter of interest to their Reclamation regional office, which works with selected entities to formulate a study proposal for consideration by a Reclamation panel. If selected, studies must be completed within three years of the execution of a cost-share agreement under this program.

Cooperative Watershed Management Program
The Cooperative Watershed Management Program was authorized under Section 6002 of P.L. 111-11. It funds projects by watershed groups that provide local solutions to address water management needs. Funding recipients must be self-sustaining, nonregulatory entities that address water availability and quality issues. Funding for the program is deployed for two phases, with the first phase consisting of development and planning and the second phase consisting of implementation of projects developed under the first phase. Grants under the second phase of the program are now solicited as “environmental water resources projects” grants, a new category of WaterSMART grants as of FY2022 (see previous section, “WaterSMART Grants”). Phase one projects may receive assistance of up to $100,000 per year for a period of up to two years (i.e., $200,000 total), with no nonfederal cost share required.

Watershed Conservation Field Services
The Watershed Conservation Field Services Program is managed by Reclamation regional offices, which provide technical and financial assistance for the development of water conservation plans and design of water management improvements. Reclamation established the program administratively in 1996 to implement the Preferred Alternative in Reclamation’s Environmental Impact Statement for Implementation of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-293). Reclamation also cites Section 9504(e) of P.L. 111-11 as guiding implementation of this program. Applicants may include Reclamation States and Territories and Hawaii, as well as tribes and organizations with water or power delivery authority located in the aforementioned areas. Project grants are limited to a maximum of $25,000 per year in federal funding, with federal costs limited to 50%. Proposals that involve planning and development associated with other Reclamation authorizations (e.g., Basin Studies, Title XVI, or other federal reclamation projects) are not eligible to receive support from the program.

Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration
The Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program was authorized in Section 1109 of P.L. 116-260. The authority allows Reclamation to provide grants for the study, design, and construction of aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection projects to improve the health of fisheries, wildlife, and aquatic habitat (e.g., dam removal). Applicants must be located in a Reclamation State or Territory. The maximum federal project cost share is 65%, with operation and maintenance a nonfederal responsibility. Maximum federal project costs are limited to $20 million.

CRS InFocus Report: 'Forest Service - FY2024 Appropriations'

Katie Hoover authored this CRS report (8 May 2023): 'Forest Service - FY2024 Appropriations'.

Click on the graphics to enlarge them. 

The Forest Service (FS) is responsible for managing 193 million acres of land in the National Forest System (NFS), conducting forestry research, and providing assistance to state, local, private, and international forest owners. FS is an agency within the Department of Agriculture, but it receives discretionary appropriations through the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill. For FY2023, Congress appropriated $10.08 billion in total discretionary appropriations for FS (P.L. 117-328), reflecting regular enacted funding of $4.86 billion, $2.21 billion provided pursuant to a wildfire adjustment (see below), and $3.00 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations (see Table 1, Table 2, and Figure 1). For more information, see CRS In Focus IF12141, Forest Service: FY2023 Appropriations. For FY2024, issues facing Congress include determining the amount of funding to provide FS accounts and activities and the terms and conditions of such funding, including whether to enact related Biden Administration proposals. Other issues relate to the FS’s program implementation and progress toward forest management objectives. FY2024 Appropriations Budget Request The Biden Administration requested $9.73 billion in total FY2024 discretionary appropriations for FS (see Table 1).

For FY2024, issues facing Congress include determining the amount of funding to provide FS accounts and activities and the terms and conditions of such funding, including whether to enact related Biden Administration proposals. Other issues relate to the FS’s program implementation and progress toward forest management objectives.

FY2024 Appropriations Budget Request The Biden Administration requested $9.73 billion in total FY2024 discretionary appropriations for FS (see Table 1).

Comparing the FY2024 request with the FY2023 regular enacted funding is complicated by the FS receiving the bulk of its wildland fire management (WFM) funding through supplemental funding in FY2023; these funds typically are provided as regular appropriations. With one exception, the FY2024 request includes increases to all FS accounts over F2023 regular enacted funding; the request includes a decrease to the State and Private Forestry (SPF) account.

The FS also receives mandatory appropriations, estimated by the agency at around $1.46 billion for FY2024. These mandatory appropriations are derived from and used for various sources and purposes (e.g., land acquisition funding under the Land and Water Conservation Fund, deferred maintenance funding under a mandatory transfer from the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund). Supplemental Appropriations The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117- 58, Division J) provided FS with $5.45 billion in total from FY2022 through FY2026 for ecosystem restoration and wildfire risk reduction purposes. For FY2022, IIJA provided $1.67 billion. Starting in FY2023 and for each fiscal year thereafter, IIJA provided for $945.2 million in advance emergency appropriations to several FS accounts. The FY2024 spending plan for these funds is available as an appendix to FS’s FY2024 budget justification.

The FY2024 spending plan for these funds is available as an appendix to FS’s FY2024 budget justification.

Forest Service Appropriation Accounts
FS has several discretionary appropriations accounts, discussed below in decreasing order of FY2024 requested funding.

Wildland Fire Management
The largest share of FS appropriations generally goes to the Wildland Fire Management (WFM) account. In addition to salaries and expenses, the WFM appropriation funds two programs: preparedness and suppression. Appropriations for preparedness are used to support efforts that assist with fire prevention and detection, equipment, and training. Appropriations for suppression are used primarily for wildfire response, which includes aviation asset operations, incident support functions, and resources for postfire analysis and recovery.

Wildfire Adjustment/Wildfire Funding Fix
Starting in FY2020, additional funds for suppression operations are available to FS (and the Department of the Interior) pursuant to the wildfire adjustment, a budgetary mechanism established in P.L. 115-141 (Division O, §102(a)), commonly referred to as the wildfire funding fix. This mechanism allows Congress to provide additional funding above a specified baseline for wildfire suppression through an adjustment to the limit on total discretionary spending. The baseline is the 10-year suppression obligation average, as reported in FY2015 ($1.011 billion for FS). The maximum amount available pursuant to the adjustment is $2.300 billion for FS in FY2024 and is set to increase annually as specified in statute. The wildfire adjustment is available annually through FY2027.

National Forest System The NFS account funds activities related to the management of national forests and grasslands. These activities include planning, recreation, grazing, timber production, watershed protection, wildlife management, and law enforcement, among others.

Forest Service Operations The Forest Service Operations (FSO) account funds certain fixed costs and administrative expenses related to facilities maintenance and leasing, information technology, and other agency-wide organizational services. This account was established in FY2021.

Forest and Rangeland Research The Forest and Rangeland Research (FRR) account funds research and development efforts to provide scientific information and new technologies to support sustainable forest and rangeland management. FRR funds the Forest Inventory and Analysis program, which is a continuous census of U.S. forest resources.

State and Private Forestry The State and Private Forestry (SPF) account funds programs that provide assistance to nonfederal forest owners. Several of these programs are implemented through state forestry agencies.

Capital Improvement and Maintenance The Capital Improvement and Maintenance (CIM) account funds FS efforts to provide and maintain facilities, roads, trails, and other infrastructure needs across the NFS. It includes funding to address a backlog of deferred maintenance (DM). FS receives additional funding to address DM through mandatory transfers from the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund.

Other “Other” includes several smaller appropriations accounts for the Range Betterment Fund; gifts, donations, and bequests for research; management of national forest lands for subsistence uses; and administration of communication site authorizations. This category also includes funding to complete land acquisitions and exchanges as authorized by specified laws, referred to as special acts.

20 Years of Forest Service Funding FS’s discretionary funding fluctuates annually. Funding increased substantially in FY2022 to its highest level to date, in part due to supplemental appropriations provided through IIJA (see Figure 1). This increased funding level may enable FS to pursue many agency objectives, such as increasing the pace and scale of forest restoration activities. However, it may take several years for the impacts of the additional funding—if any—to be measurable. This may be due to the slow pace of forest management activities generally; the time needed to plan, prioritize, and deploy funding to projects across the NFS; and other factors.

Personal, People, Interviews, and Quotes
Quote of the Day - “I suspect our species has been kissing for as long as we’ve been on Earth.” Evidence of smooching from sources up to 11,000 years old seem to counter the hypothesis that kissing was invented around 3,500 years ago on the Indian subcontinent. In @washingtonpost

Quote of the Day - “There’s a competing experience of both beauty and horror.” Marvels come from extreme weather - rare wildflower superbloom that's followed intense CA rain-can trigger conflicting feelings-climate psychologist Leslie Davenport. “Make room for it all,” she says.

Quote of the Day - “In certain fields of science, people pride themselves in doing ‘useless’ work.” Some scientists view their work like art - but even these efforts sometimes turn out to have wide-ranging applications, says biologist Andreas Wagner.

Quot of the Day - “The idea is that we eliminate evaluation of results from the evaluation of science, so that we can select based on quality rather than based on which results were positive or significant.” Neuroscientist Chris Chambers in @Nature

Quote of the Day: “I tell my students I have become a hunter … I hunt for grants.” Africa has talented scientists who can address their continent’s challenges, says materials chemist Emmanuel Unuabonah — but a lack of funding is holding them back. (@NatureCareersPodcast)

"Thanks for asking about how to succeed on the Admin Track. Our last three deans have been a bouncer in London, a deputy sheriff in South Georgia, and a corrections officer in Texas. Does that help?" - @ass_deans

Slogan that did not make it: "We can't spell 'sucker' without U!" via @SIRIUSXM 70s on 7.

"Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil." - Eric Hoffer (quoted in @BIZPACReview via @TheWeek)

"Better slip with foot than tongue." - Benjamin Franklin (quoted in @BostonGlobe via @TheWeek)

"Admin 101: Never let your lack of experience or empirical evidence get in the way of your certainty about the right course of action for the college." - @ass_dean

"We are pleased to announce our experiment with beer sales during graduation was a great success. The college made money on $12 beers and there was only one incident. Since it involved an Econ professor and his PhD student, we really can’t blame the alcohol." -
