AI Summary
This bill, the Rio Grande Water Security Act, aims to improve water security, river and watershed health, and community and ecosystem resilience in the Rio Grande Basin. It does this by directing the Secretary of the Interior to convene a Federal working group to develop and implement an integrated water resources management plan for the basin. The plan would include recommendations for improving infrastructure, science and data, water conservation, nature-based features, and collaboration among stakeholders. The bill also reauthorizes irrigation infrastructure grants for Pueblos located within the basin. The key provisions focus on coordinating federal, state, tribal, and local efforts to manage water resources in the Rio Grande Basin.
