Securing America's Water Supply Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Army to create an Office of Water Supply, Water Conservation, and Drought Resiliency within the Army Corps of Engineers' civil works division within 180 days. A program manager would lead the office and report to the Deputy Commanding General for Civil Works and Emergency Operations. The office would review Corps policies on water supply, help states and local partners access Corps programs, coordinate water supply reallocation studies to clear backlogs, and act as a link between the Corps and non-federal partners on water storage and surplus water contracts. Within 2 years, the Secretary would have to report to Congress on the office's staffing and on the status of each Corps water supply study or project.
