Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 19 N00
The Utah Historic Irrigation Project is a federal grant opportunity from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on protecting and preserving Utah's historic irrigation heritage by recording it before it is lost or damaged. The core aim is mitigation: documenting historic properties tied to irrigation infrastructure, along with the broader story of how water management, irrigation systems, and agricultural practices shaped communities across Utah. Rather than centering on construction or physical rehabilitation, the project emphasizes research, interpretation, and public education so that the history connected to canals and related systems is captured in a durable, accessible way.
The project is designed to produce a set of public-facing and research-oriented deliverables that make this history widely available. Expected outputs include written documentation and reports, a publicly available website, and GIS-based resources that can map and visualize irrigation infrastructure and its historical context. In addition, the project plans to develop an oral history archive to preserve firsthand accounts and community memory, along with museum exhibits and classroom materials that can be used by educators. Taken together, these products are intended to reach multiple audiences, including scholars, local communities, students, and the general public, while also creating a lasting record that supports future preservation and historical understanding.
