The High Plains Underground Water Conservation District (HPWD) board of directors at their June 14 meeting approved $68,860 in funding for water-related research, demonstration, and education projects.
Since 2014, HPWD has provided financial support for water conservation research, demonstration, and education efforts within its 16-county service area. Researchers receiving HPWD funding will provide a progress report halfway through their project. When the project is completed, grantees will also give a final report and presentation to the board of directors.
There were seven projects submitted for funding 2022. Each was evaluated by an eight-member committee that includes three HPWD board members, two HPWD County Advisory Committee members, two members of the public, and the HPWD general manager.
