Reclamation provides new funding to Wash program
The Bureau of Reclamation recently contributed $400,000 towards the annual long-term operating projects of the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee (LVWCC), including revegetation, water quality monitoring, biological research, and program management activities.
Reclamation has contributed grant funding towards the LVWCC's efforts on the Las Vegas Wash for many years, helping to subsidize program costs for stakeholders.
Dedicated to the Wash and Lake Mead, this round of funding is the second year of annual coordination of the current five-year agreement designated in the federal budget.
