The Water Resources Development Act

The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is a U.S. law that focuses on the management and development of the nation's water resources. It authorizes projects for water infrastructure, including flood risk management, navigation, and ecosystem restoration. The act facilitates funding and planning for dams, levees, and waterways, helping to improve water supply, enhance environmental quality, and promote economic growth. WRDA is updated periodically to address current needs and challenges in water management, balancing both human and ecological interests.
