Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
This bill requires the Secretary of the Army to study how new commercial and industrial water users affect water levels and usage in reservoirs managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. The Secretary must complete the study and submit a report to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The study results must also be made publicly available on the Corps of Engineers website. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or authorize new appropriations, focusing instead on requiring a research and transparency initiative to better understand how growing commercial and industrial water demands impact federal reservoir operations.
