The Department of the Interior announced $889 million for water infrastructure projects across the West, supporting systems that serve agriculture and communities.
Funding will flow through the Bureau of Reclamation to improve conveyance, expand storage and update aging infrastructure in six states. California will receive $540 million for major Central Valley systems, while additional investments target projects in Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
These include irrigation upgrades, canal repairs, pipeline replacements and tunnel rehabilitation to improve water-delivery reliability and reduce the risk of system failures across key agricultural regions.
