Contract Description:
The primary focus of the Columbia Basin Water Transaction Program (CBWTP) is to fund water transactions that restore streamflow on ecologically-significant Columbia Basin tributaries. The contract purpose is to implement instream water transactions in partnership with the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CTCR) and increase streamflow in their designated geographies as part of the CBWTP.

The CBWTP is administered through a cooperative agreement between BPA and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). NFWF shall follow NFWF's grant policies and procedures including Board of Director Review and Congressional Notification.

Subbasin plans and other habitat assessments throughout the Columbia Basin cite inadequate streamflows as a key factor limiting the productivity of both anadromous and resident fish species. Water transactions provide an effective and appropriate response to this key limiting factor. Restored streamflow benefit multiple fish species, particularly Chinook salmon, Steelhead and Bull trout.

The CBWTP works through qualified local entities (QLEs). The QLEs include state agencies and nonprofit organizations. These QLEs receive funds to implement, process and/or monitor water transactions in multiple priority watersheds throughout the Columbia Basin. Since 2002, over 12.4 million acre feet has been dedicated instream through transactions.

These transactions have included a number of innovative methods, including split-season leases, source switches, permanent purchases and water produced through significant capital investments in irrigation efficiency projects. The term of these deals has varied from short-term to permanent.
