GROW SMART Act provides financial and technical assistance for innovative water-saving agreements among agricultural and municipal entities.
The GROW SMART Act amends the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief Act of 1991 to offer financial and technical assistance for voluntary water-sharing agreements among agricultural entities and other water users. These agreements aim to keep agricultural land productive, support rural communities, and reduce consumptive water use. The bill prioritizes projects that use innovative approaches, such as hydroponics, agrovoltaics, and regenerative practices. The Secretary of the Interior can provide up to 75% of the project costs, with a waiver for Tribal entities.
