Upper Colorado and San Juan Basin Endangered Fish Recovery Implementation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2005

H.R. 3153 extends federal funding and support for two major conservation programs dedicated to protecting endangered fish species in the Upper Colorado and San Juan River basins. The bill increases the budget for essential capital projects, such as building fish ladders and improving irrigation systems, to ensure these species can survive alongside human water use. For citizens, this legislation aims to balance the protection of local wildlife with the continued reliable delivery of water and hydroelectric power to communities across the Western United States.
