The California State Water Resources Control Board is a state government agency that funds and regulates projects to protect and manage California’s water resources. Its funding and program activities prioritize upgrading drinking-water infrastructure, advancing water reuse and treatment research, enforcing water quality standards, and supporting permit-driven pollution control projects. Typical recipients are municipal water agencies, research organizations, and regional water boards working on technically robust, regulatory-compliant solutions for state water challenges.
State-administered grants and agreements delivered as project-specific awards or multi-year research contracts; funding is typically sizable (hundreds of thousands to multi-million dollar awards) and linked to regulatory priorities, capital projects, or applied research timelines.
Proposals should align with California regulatory priorities and include technical and compliance details (permitting, monitoring plans). Expect formal state solicitation processes or directed agreements—monitor Water Boards’ program pages and public notices for grant solicitations, and coordinate with your Regional Water Board for eligibility and priority alignment.
