Under the Water-Use Data and Research (WUDR) program, workplans are developed by States to evaluate their current water-use data in relation to USGS baseline standards for each category of water user and develop a workplan to improve it.
Workplans:
- describe State water-use program
- outline State priorities for improving water-use data
- list steps proposed to address priorities, preferably in respect to the baseline standards
- have no specific format or length
- must be submitted and approved prior to State receiving funds for any competitive awards
Workplan funding
- Non-competitive amounts of \$26,000 per State are available for States that have not completed a workplan. Please contact the WUDR Coordinator for more information.
- Funds can be used to support any activity that results in workplan development.
- States may prepare workplans without requesting funding and may apply for future competitive awards after the workplan is approved.

Water-Use Data and Research (WUDR) program
The USGS Water-Use Data and Research (WUDR) program provides financial assistance through cooperative agreements with State water resource agencies to improve the availability, quality, compatibility, and delivery of water-use data that is collected or estimated by States.
Water-Use Data and Research program: Proposals and awards
Water-Use Data and Research (WUDR) financial assistance is awarded in a competitive process each Federal Fiscal Year. The funding cycle begins with the WUDR Program Announcement being made available on Grants.gov. State water resources agencies can then prepare proposals for improving their water-use data under the priorities described in an approved workplan. All submitted proposals are reviewed...
Summary of baseline standards for water-use data
The USGS has identified baseline goals (Tier 1) and additional levels of data (Tier 2 and Tier 3), for all major categories of water use. The current year Water-Use Data and Research (WUDR) Program Announcement provides the authoritative version of these standards. These guidelines are provided to assist State water-resource agencies in determining areas in which to focus proposed work.
