Bill > HR337

This bill provides technical and financial assistance for groundwater recharge, aquifer storage, and water source substitution projects by amending Section 40910 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Specifically, the bill authorizes the transfer of $3,000,000 for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2031 from unobligated balances of funds originally made available under section 40901 of the IIJA to the Secretary (presumably of the Department of the Interior or another relevant federal agency) to carry out groundwater management and conservation activities. Groundwater recharge refers to the process of adding water to underground aquifers, which are critical water storage systems, while water source substitution involves replacing current water sources with more sustainable alternatives. This bill aims to support water resource management and conservation efforts by providing dedicated funding for projects that help protect and replenish groundwater resources.
