Exploring the Use of Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Programs for Land Conservation Projects in Four Western States: California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.
This project sought to explore the potential to use Clean Water State Revolving Funds (CSWRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (DWSRF) to finance source water protection through land conservation in California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.1 Phase II specifically focused on understanding the current use of and priorities for the SRF programs; developing strategies to motivate demand for loans; and exploring ways to overcome barriers to using SRF loans for conservation (such as loan repayment options).
