The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is a U.S. law that governs the management and development of the nation's water resources. It primarily focuses on the construction and maintenance of infrastructure like dams, levees, and navigation channels, aimed at flood control, water supply, and environmental protection. WRDA also addresses issues such as ecosystem restoration and water quality improvement. This legislation is crucial for planning and funding projects that help manage water resources effectively, ensuring safety and accessibility for communities while supporting economic growth and environmental sustainability.
