28Water Research Foundation - Source Water Protection Cost-Benefit Tool
This is a free, online suite of tools designed to assist in evaluating the triple bottom-line costs
and benefits of different source water protection options. Cost/benefit calculations help
evaluate, prioritize, justify, and ultimately implement source water protection initiatives.
Healthy Watersheds Consortium
The Healthy Watersheds Consortium Grant Program has just published a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to support local projects that protect and sustain healthy watersheds (including drinking
water sources). Through this program, EPA will provide approximately $3.75 million over six
years to the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities for projects that develop and/or
support state, interstate, and tribal healthy watersheds programs and enhance collaboration
among the many groups who benefit from protecting healthy watersheds such as drinking water
utilities, hunters and fisherman, foresters and farmers, and more. The Endowment is also
matching a portion of EPA’s financial commitment to the partnership and expects to leverage
additional funding from other public and private sources.
The goal of the Healthy Watersheds Consortium Grant Program is to accelerate strategic
protection of healthy, freshwater ecosystems and their watersheds. This goal will be achieved
by: Funding key projects identified in existing watershed protection or conservation plans;
Building the sustainable organizational infrastructure, social support, and long-term funding
commitments necessary to implement large-scale protection of healthy watersheds; and
supporting innovative or catalytic projects that may accelerate or broadly advance the field of
practice for watershed protection efforts. For more information and to view and download the
RFP and other helpful documents, visit the website:
