Dakota Mainstem Water Supply Project Feasibility Study Act

H.R. 7331 would direct the federal government to conduct a feasibility study for the Dakota Mainstem Water Supply Project. This study would examine the potential for developing water supply infrastructure along the mainstem of the Dakota River system. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House and referred to committee. If enacted, the feasibility study would provide information about the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of potential water supply projects in the region, which could inform future water resource development decisions. The study itself would not authorize construction or implementation of any specific project, but rather would gather data to determine whether such projects are viable and beneficial.
