AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal water storage programs run by the Bureau of Reclamation in western states. It lets the Secretary of the Interior give financial help for water storage projects in any Reclamation State and study federally owned or state-led storage projects, with help spread across multiple states. It changes which small water storage projects qualify for grants and extends that grant program from 5 to 10 years. It also creates grants for projects that use natural materials and processes, such as aquifer recharge and floodplain retention, to hold and release water, with the federal government paying no more than half the cost.
