Development, Management, and Protection of Indian Tribal Water Resources

archived

The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region (PN Region), places a high priority on its government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribes. The PN Region’s Native American Affairs program (NAA program) coordinates activities and programs among some 50 tribes in the Pacific Northwest. The NAA program provides technical assistance to Indian Tribes for the use, protection, or development of water-related tribal assets. With coordination assistance from its Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP), the PN Region’s Snake River Area Office NAA program is requesting proposals to fund activities that support the development, management, and protection of Indian tribal water resources in Federal fiscal year 2011 (October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011). Examples of these types of activities include –but are not limited to – piping and/or lining of canals and laterals, installation of automation and/or water measurement devices, and other projects to improve efficiencies of irrigation water supply, conveyance, and distribution systems. To be eligible for financial assistance under this Funding Opportunity, a proposed activity must fall within the administrative boundaries of the Snake River Area Office.
