Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow money from the major infrastructure law to be used for additional water projects under the Carey Act, a century-old program that helps states develop irrigation and water systems on federal land. The change would expand which water development projects can receive federal funding, potentially benefiting farmers, ranchers, and communities that rely on irrigation infrastructure in western states.
