GCDAMP Budget

On May 6, 2010 the Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG) approved a biennial budget and workplan process. This processed proved to be very successful and supported by the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP) and was extended to a triennial process for the FY 2015-2017 budget and workplan per guidance from Anne Castle (May 7, 2014). The goal is to reduce the effort expended on the budget process while improving the effectiveness of the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC), Technical Work Group (TWG), and AMWG.

The current balance of the experimental fund at the end of the FY2007 is anticipated to be approximately $900,000. An additional $500,000 will be set aside by the GCMRC annually in an account at Reclamation to fund the BHBF tests and other research related to experimental efforts.1 Deposits to the experimental account will cease when the balance reaches $2.5 million.
