AI Summary
This bill, the Repurposing Assets to Increase Long-term Water Availability and Yield Act (RAILWAY Act), requires that certain funds provided by the Department of Transportation for high-speed rail development in California that are rescinded or reimbursed be redirected to the Secretary of the Interior for water storage projects, and to the Secretary of Agriculture for nitrate contamination reduction grants and new well construction grants in rural communities. The bill also establishes two new grant programs: one for projects designed to reduce or remove nitrates from drinking water in rural areas, and another for projects to supply drinking water to rural communities with private wells that are not producing water.
