The MORE WATER Act aims to expand federal support for water infrastructure by reauthorizing and expanding programs under the Bureau of Reclamation, though much of the bill's original text has been struck and replaced through the Senate committee amendment process.

The legislation also proposes reauthorizing funding for water recycling and reuse projects at $550 million and environmental restoration efforts at $250 million for fiscal years 2028-2032, including specific habitat work for the Great Salt Lake and Sacramento River salmon, while raising the maximum federal contribution per project to $50 million.
