Central Valley Water Solution Act

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation, to provide money and technical help for 22 water projects in California's Central Valley. The projects include groundwater banks and recharge basins, pipelines, wells, water treatment plants, a reservoir, and repairs to canals that have lost capacity because the ground has sunk. The bill authorizes specific funding amounts for each project, ranging from $1 million to $850 million. Except for one planning study, the money would not have to be paid back or matched by local agencies, and the Secretary must follow all applicable environmental laws.
