Proposals sought for grants to study, restore, and protect watersheds

The California Department of Water Resources, Division of Planning and Local
Assistance, released its 2007 Proposal Solicitation Package seeking projects to share $10 million in CALFED grants. The money comes from the sale of $3.4 billion in bonds approved by voters as Proposition 50 in November 2002. The projects can range from evaluating the condition of California watersheds to implementing local watershed projects.
