Reauthorizes desalination programs and grants for advanced pilot desalination technologies.
The Desalination Reauthorization Act amends the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act and the Water Desalination Act of 1996 to reauthorize certain desalination programs. It allows the Secretary to participate in eligible desalination projects, providing up to 25 percent of the total cost without a dollar limitation. The Act also mandates grants for the development and operation of advanced pilot desalination technologies, focusing on converting saline, brackish, seawater, or wastewater into usable water and managing brine discharges.
