Successful applicants of Stream 3: Assessments, Engineering Studies or Plans will receive cost-shared funding for assessments, engineering studies or plans. This stream will fund assessments, engineering studies, or plans that:
- Are required, often by law, before implementing on-ground infrastructure work.
- Will enhance the understanding of the operational and developmental limitations to the water supplies in the regions and/or watersheds, which enable applicants to determine the appropriate type and scale of infrastructure required to achieve their project goals.
- Will help ensure funding will be allocated to projects that will remain viable, valuable, and resilient into the future under predicted climate change scenarios.
