To direct the Secretary of the Interior to carry out a feasibility study on a selective water withdrawal system at Glen Canyon Dam, and for other purposes.

This legislation proposes that the Secretary of the Interior conduct a feasibility study regarding the installation of a selective water withdrawal system at the Glen Canyon Dam. Such systems are typically designed to control the temperature of water released from a dam by pulling water from different depths of the reservoir. This process can help manage downstream water quality and improve habitats for native fish species in the Colorado River ecosystem. If the study moves forward, it would provide a technical and financial assessment of how this infrastructure change might impact the environment and dam operations. For citizens in the Southwest, the bill aims to address long-standing ecological concerns while maintaining the dam's role in water storage and power generation. The study would likely examine the costs, engineering requirements, and potential benefits for local wildlife and water management strategies.
