Water Security and Drought Resilience Act authorizes grants for water storage projects.
The Water Security and Drought Resilience Act amends the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to provide financial assistance for natural water retention and release projects. These projects must have water storage capacity between 200 and 30,000 acre-feet and increase surface water or groundwater storage. The bill also extends the authorization for small storage projects and ensures that grants are distributed across multiple Reclamation States.
