This bill designates water supply and water conservation as a primary mission for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when planning, designing, constructing, modifying, operating, and maintaining water infrastructure projects. The legislation affects the Corps of Engineers' approach to managing water resources across the country, placing water supply and conservation on equal footing with the agency's existing missions like navigation, flood control, and environmental protection. The bill includes protections to ensure it does not override the Corps' current authorities, interfere with pending permit applications or lawsuits, change the public interest review process for permits, or undermine states' authority to manage their own water resources. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation. The bill was introduced in January 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
