The House of Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved on July 1 the authorization of $155 million under the latest Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA) bill to support the Sacramento River Basin, newly elected Congressman James Gallagher (CA-01) announced. The authorization is part of the House Water Resource Development Act (WRDA) 2026 bill, which operates through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Environmental Infrastructure program. … If the WRDA 2026 bill passes, the $155 million would support the basin’s water and wastewater infrastructure, environmental restoration and surface water protection. It would support environmental restoration meant to improve drought resilience, salmon recovery, and bird migration without increasing flood risk.
