HR9512In Committee

Doug LaMalfa Sacramento River Basin Water Security and Reliability Act of 2026

This bill would extend federal funding and support for water storage projects in California's Sacramento River Basin, allowing the state to keep money from temporary water transfers during droughts to pay for maintenance and safety improvements at dams. It would also establish a federal leadership committee to coordinate water management efforts in the region and authorize the federal government to help pay for operating and maintaining state-led water storage projects that provide public benefits like flood control and environmental restoration. The legislation aims to improve water reliability and environmental conditions in the Sacramento River Basin during times of drought.
