| HIDALGO COUNTY IRRIGATION DISTRICT (HCID) LOCATED IN THE CITY OF MISSION, HIDALGO COUNTY, TEXAS WILL CONSTRUCT A NEW PUMP STATION TO INCREASE RELIABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY TO DIVERT WATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE RIVER DURING PERIODS OF DROUGHT. HCIDS CURRENT RIVER LIFT STATION SUFFERS OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS DUE TO PERSISTENT LOW WATER LEVELS. SOUTH TEXAS RIO GRANDE IS EXPERIENCING THE WORST DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN 25 YEARS, AND THE LOW RIVER LEVELS ARE EXACERBATED BY THE CURRENT DROUGHT. HCID PROVIDES WATER TO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS, AQUA SPECIAL UTILITY DISTRICT FOR MUNICIPAL POTABLE WATER NEEDS, MOORE AIRFIELD FEDERAL RESEARCH FACILITY, AND FRONTERA GENERATION FOR POWER. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE REGION M WATER PLANNING GROUPS 2021 WATER PLAN THAT FOCUSES ON WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND DROUGHT PLANNING. | Texas (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | HIDALGO COIRRIGATION DIST NO6 | $2.0M | — |

R24AS00007THE UNION WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION UWSC, LOCATED IN SOUTHERN TEXAS, IS A LEGALLY CHARTERED CORPORATION THAT PROVIDES POTABLE WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITY SERVICES FOR RURAL RESIDENTS IN STARR COUNTY. UWSC CURRENTLY OWNS 467 ACREFT PER YEAR OF WATER RIGHTS FROM THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. USWC HAS CONSISTENTLY USED 100% OF THEIR PERMITTED SURFACE WATER RIGHTS AND HAVE BEEN FORCED TO LEASE AN ADDITIONAL 433 ACREFT PER YEAR TO MEET BASIC DEMANDS. USWC WILL COMPLETE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION FOR A NEW GROUNDWATER WELL AND A GROUNDWATER TREATMENT PLANT THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE OVERALL RESILIENCY OF THE WATER SYSTEM AND ENABLE UWSC TO FOREGO LEASING WATER FROM AN EXTERNAL PROVIDER TO COVER SUPPLY GAPS. | Texas (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | UNION WATER SUPPLY | $9.4M | — |
| THE DONNA IRRIGATION DISTRICT, LOCATED IN SOUTHERN TEXAS, WILL CONVERT 5,200 FEET OF THE CURRENTLY CONCRETE LINED SOUTH CROSSOVER LATERAL TO A 60-INCH POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PIPELINE AND 3,800 FEET OF THE CURRENTLY CONCRETE LINED LATERAL 22 TO A 48-INCH POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PIPELINE. THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN ANNUAL WATER SAVINGS OF 1,790 ACRE-FEET BY REDUCING SEEPAGE, EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, AND OVERFLOW LOSSES. THE DISTRICT WILL ALSO INSTALL 2 BACKUP SOLAR-ELECTRIC BATTERY SYSTEMS AT THE DISTRICTS FIRST LIFT PUMP STATION AND SECOND LIFT PUMP STATION TO PROVIDE POWER IN THE EVENT OF A POWER OUTAGE, AS WELL AS TWO SOLAR-POWERED MONITORING STATIONS TO PROVIDE A MORE EFFICIENT, REAL-TIME, DETECTION OF PROBLEMS TO AID IN MINIMIZING WATER LOSS. THE CONSERVED WATER WILL REMAIN IN THE FALCON AND AMISTAD RESERVOIRS FOR EVENTUAL ALLOCATION TO OTHER USERS IN THE RIO GRANDE SYSTEM, ALLEVIATING PRESSURE ON THE OVER-ALLOCATED WATER RESOURCE SHARED WITH MEXICO. | Texas (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | DONNA IRRIGATION DISTRICT | $3.3M | — |
| THE BROWNSVILLE PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD WILL IMPROVE AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT, INCREASE WATER STORAGE CAPACITY, AND CREATE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE RESACA DE LA GUERRA IN SOUTHERN TEXAS. RESACES ARE FORMER DISTRIBUTARIES OF THE RIO GRANDE RIVER, FORMED BY NATURAL FLOODING CYCLES OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS. RESACA DE LA GUERRA IS USED AS STORAGE FOR POTABLE SUPPLY AND SERVE AS IMPORTANT FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT. PROLONGED DROUGHT AND DEVELOPMENT HAVE ALTERED THE RESACA HYDROLOGY, RESULTING IN DEGRADED WATER QUALITY, INCREASED WATER TEMPERATURES, REDUCED WATER STORAGE, AND IMPAIRED AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT. THE UTILITIES BOARD WILL RESTORE 3,000 LINEAR FEET OF RIPARIAN CORRIDOR BY REMOVING INVASIVE VEGETATION AND PLANTING NATIVE PLANT SPECIES, REMOVE SEDIMENT TO ADD 27 ACRE-FEET OF STORAGE CAPACITY, INSTALL THREE STORMWATER TREATMENT UNITS THAT WILL REMOVE SEDIMENT, TRASH, AND DEBRIS FROM RUNOFF ENTERING THE RESACA, AND ADD WALKING TRAILS. THE RESTORED RESACA WILL IMPROVE RESILIENCE OF COMMUNITY WATER SOURCES, RESTORE ESSENTIAL AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT, AND ADD NEW RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEARBY HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IN THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE AND CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS. THIS PROJECT IS THE RESULT OF EXTENSIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE, IRRIGATION DISTRICTS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, AS WELL AS LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS AND POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND IS IDENTIFIED IN THE IMAGINE BROWNSVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. | Texas (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD OF THE CITY OF BROWNSVILLE TEXAS | $3.0M | — |
| THE GULF COAST WATER AUTHORITY (GCWA OR AUTHORITY) IS A MAJOR WATER PROVIDER TO MUNICIPAL- MANUFACTURING- AND IRRIGATION USERS IN THE SAN JACINTO-BRAZOS COASTAL AND LOWER BRAZOS RIVER BASINS IN TEXAS. GCWA OPERATES THREE DIVISIONS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING WATER SUPPLY FOR INDUSTRY- AGRICULTURE- AND MUNICIPALITIES IN BRAZORIA- FORT BEND- AND GALVESTON COUNTIES. GCWA HAS RECOGNIZED SEAWATER DESALINATION AS A POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVE FOR MEETING CURRENT AND FUTURE TREATED WATER NEEDS WITHIN ITS SERVICE AREA. ALSO- BECAUSE OF THE END-OF-BASIN LOCATION OF THE AUTHORITYS SERVICE AREA AND ITS WIDE NETWORK OF WATER TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION INFRASTRUCTURE- A LARGE-SCALE OF SEAWATER DESALINATION CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEVERAGING EXISTING WATER RESOURCES THROUGH CONJUNCTIVE WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT- WHICH WOULD FURTHER ENHANCE THE REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY PORTFOLIO. GCWAS GOAL IS TO ENSURE A DROUGHT-PROOF WATER SUPPLY PORTFOLIO THAT CONTRIBUTES EFFICIENTLY TO THE REGIONS RESILIENCE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVEN DROUGHTS. THEREFORE- IN THIS STUDY THE AUTHORITY PROPOSES TO DEFINE AND ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING A LARGE-SCALE SEAWATER DESALINATION PROJECT. THE STUDY WILL EXAMINE THE POTENTIAL REGIONAL IMPACT SUCH NEW SUPPLY WOULD HAVE WHEN CONJUNCTIVELY MANAGED WITH EXISTING SURFACE (RIVER) WATER RESOURCES. THE STUDY WILL BEGIN WITH A STAKEHOLDER PROCESS TO GAUGE REGIONAL INTEREST AND RECEIVE INPUT PERTAINING SEAWATER DESALINATION. MODELING OF THE EXISTING WATER SUPPLY PORTFOLIO WILL BE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE VOLUME OF SEAWATER DESALINATION AND THE TIMING FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION. A SEAWATER DESALINATION PROJECT WILL BE FORMULATED AND COMPARED AGAINST REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES PREVIOUSLY GENERATED IN LOCAL AND REGIONAL WATER PLANNING EFFORTS. THIS INFORMATION WILL SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR THE TITLE XVI FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT. REGARDING HOW THE PROPOSED STUDY ACTIVITIES MAY CONTRIBUTE TO ACCOMPLISHING THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY- THE PURPOSE OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IS TO EVALUATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE-SCALE REGIONAL SEAWATER DESALINATION SUPPLY WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GOALS STATED IN THE NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY NO.

| THE LA FERIA IRRIGATION DISTRICT CAMERON COUNTY NO. 3 (DISTRICT) IN CAMERON COUNTY, TEXAS WILL DEVELOP A NEW WATER STRATEGY TO ADDRESS WATER SHORTFALLS. THE DISTRICT IS LOCATED IN THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY IN THE SOUTHERNMOST CORNER OF TEXAS ON THE BORDER WITH MEXICO. THE DISTRICT PUMPS WATER FROM THE RIO GRANDE RIVER TO SUPPLY WATER TO THE CITIES OF LA FERIA AND SANTA ROSA, SEBASTIAN MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT, COLONIAS, AND FARMERS. THIS AREA HAS SUFFERED FROM ONGOING DROUGHT AND REDUCTIONS IN RIO GRANDE RIVER DIVERSIONS DUE TO HISTORICALLY LOW WATER SUPPLIES. THE DISTRICT WILL WORK WITH FARMERS AND MUNICIPAL SYSTEM CUSTOMERS TO DEVELOP A WATER STRATEGY TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS TO IMPROVE WATER MANAGEMENT, IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLIES, AND EXPAND CONSERVATION PRACTICES. THROUGH THIS PLANNING EFFORT, THE DISTRICT WILL DEVELOP INFORMATION AND ANALYSES CRITICAL TO IMPROVING WATER MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS, DRONE IMAGERY, GIS MAPPING, A DRAINAGE STUDY, POPULATION PROJECTIONS, AND A WATER RATE STUDY TO EVALUATE OPTIONS TO SUPPORT FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS. | Texas (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | LA FERIA IRRIGATION DISTRICT 3 | $176K | — |
