WaterSMART — CFDA 15.507

WaterSMART obligations at $459.8M

USAspending.gov records $459,784,818.79 in obligations under CFDA 15.507. Those 704 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $653,103 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. Other Bureau of Reclamation water listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $459,784,818.79.

The assistance-listing title is WATERSMART (SUSTAIN AND MANAGE AMERICA’S RESOURCES FOR TOMORROW). CFDA 15.507 is the identifier. Read the $459.8M headline — $459,784,818.79 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 15.507 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted.

704 awards on 460 water partners

460 recipients share 704 awards. That is about 1.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $459,784,818.79 evenly would assign about $999,532 per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. The packet does not list the 460 named organizations. Read $459,784,818.79 only against CFDA 15.507.

Twenty-two jurisdictions is a Reclamation-geography map, not a 50-state water formula. WaterSMART dollars follow funded districts and municipalities in the West and partner states. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. A simple average is about $653,103 per award. Combining 15.507 with other Bureau of Reclamation water listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not an acre-foot census

Among assistance listings, 15.507 is a high-row local-district file: 704 awards against 460 named water districts and partners concentrated in 22 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. The recipient field (460 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (704) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. Citing 704 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $459,784,818.79 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Four hundred sixty recipients in 22 jurisdictions is a western water-district fingerprint.

Obligations versus WaterSMART outlays

The $459,784,818.79 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

Use CFDA 15.507 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of acre-feet conserved, canals lined, or drought plans adopted. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.507. The $459.8M figure is the compact form of $459,784,818.79.

What the 15.507 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 22 jurisdictions. Twenty-two jurisdictions is a Reclamation-geography map, not a 50-state water formula. WaterSMART dollars follow funded districts and municipalities in the West and partner states. It is not an acre-foot ledger, not a drought-declaration log, and not a full Reclamation construction appropriation. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $459,784,818.79.

Place-of-performance on 22 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.

CFDA 15.507’s 704 awards spread $459,784,818.79 across 460 recipients and 22 jurisdictions.

Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
