What Is This Program?

The Small Storage Program provides Federal assistance for small surface water and groundwater storage projects that enhance water storage opportunities for future generations in support of the Department of the Interiorโ€™s priorities. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorized the Small Storage Program and funds up to a 25 percent Federal cost share for eligible project costs of small storage projects with a surface or groundwater storage capacity between 200 and 30,000 acre-feet. Projects must also increase storage or move water to or from the storage project. Reclamation leverages Federal and non-Federal funding to support stakeholder efforts to optimize scarce water supplies and avoid conflicts over water.
