Congressman James Gallagher introduced new federal legislation Friday that aims to improve water reliability across Northern California while investing in river restoration and long-term ecosystem health. The Doug LaMalfa Sacramento River Basin Water Security and Reliability Act would support water storage projects, strengthen water infrastructure and provide funding for habitat restoration throughout the Sacramento River Basin. According to Gallagher’s office, the Sacramento River Basin supplies water to millions of Californians and supports one of the nation’s most productive agricultural regions. The legislation is designed to improve water reliability while balancing environmental stewardship and fish habitat restoration.
