Summary
The Drought Recovery and Resilience Act of 2015 was designed to provide emergency funding and create long-term infrastructure programs to combat severe drought conditions, particularly in the Western United States. The bill proposed supplemental appropriations for federal agencies to fund water recycling projects, groundwater cleanup, and rural water grants, while also establishing new loan programs to help local communities build modern water storage and desalination facilities. For everyday citizens, the legislation aimed to secure more reliable drinking water supplies, lower the risk of wildfires through watershed restoration, and provide tax credits for homeowners who install water-harvesting systems. Additionally, the act sought to improve agricultural stability by funding drought relief for farmworkers and authorizing new investments in water-efficient irrigation technology.
