Southern California Desert Region Integrated Water and Economic Sustainability Plan Act

H.R. 5282 would authorize the federal government to help fund the design and construction of water infrastructure projects in the Southern California desert region. These projects are part of a long-term sustainability plan managed by the Mojave Water Agency to improve local groundwater management and wastewater recycling. For residents in this region, the bill aims to secure a more reliable water supply and support economic growth by modernizing how water resources are used and conserved. The federal government’s contribution would be limited to 25% of the total project costs.
