Bill overview
The Drought Resilient Infrastructure Act of 2024 aims to improve water conservation and drought resilience at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water resources development projects. It directs the Secretary of the Army to incorporate forecast-informed reservoir operations, assess the feasibility of such operations across various reservoirs, and establish a pilot program in California, Nevada, and Arizona to operate covered projects with water supply as the primary purpose during drought emergencies. The bill also seeks to leverage federal infrastructure for increased water supply and addresses invasive species impacting drought resilience, while continuing the Silver Jackets program.
