Water Resource Development Act

The Water Resource Development Act (WRDA) is a U.S. law that focuses on the management and development of the nation’s water resources. It supports projects for flood control, navigation, and environmental restoration, ensuring safe and reliable water supplies. WRDA authorizes funding for infrastructure improvements, like dams and levees, and promotes sustainable practices in managing waterways. It is important for maintaining water quality, enhancing recreational areas, and protecting habitats. The Act is typically updated every few years to address current needs and priorities in water resource management.
