Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a federal partnership program to help Maryland manage and protect its watersheds—the areas of land where water drains into rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. The program would likely coordinate between federal agencies and state/local organizations to fund projects that improve water quality, restore habitats, and address pollution across entire watershed regions rather than just individual waterways. This would affect Maryland residents, farmers, businesses, and environmental groups working on water conservation and pollution reduction efforts.
