Western Governors commend leadership of the Senate's Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for the introduction of S. 1932, the Drought Resiliency and Water Supply Infrastructure Act. The bipartisan legislation would promote drought resiliency through investments in critical water storage and supply projects in the West and the promotion of modern water infrastructure technologies and innovative financing mechanisms for non-federal projects. The letter of Feb. 18, 2020 to Chair Lisa Murkowski and Ranking Member Joe Manchin reminded that "robust federal investment in water infrastructure is essential to our nation’s continued economic prosperity and environmental protection, and to assist states in developing drought-resilient communities." The outreach, signed by WGA Chair North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and Vice Chair Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, encourages the Committee to "expeditiously consider and approve this important legislation."
