| The Department of Ecology is authorizing funding for eighteen water resources projects in the Columbia River Basin in 2008. Totaling $46.4 million, the funding will pay for studies and construction costs for water conservation and storage projects. Recipients were selected from among a large group of applicants. Each proposal was thoroughly investigated by Ecology staff over a period of months. To ensure awards are used efficiently, funding will be allocated in phases. Recipients will be required to meet set milestones before projects will move forward. Money to fund the projects comes from the Columbia River Basin Water Supply Development Account. The account was created by the legislature in 2006 to fund water storage and conservation projects within the Columbia River Basin. The map below lists the eighteen projects.
