"Water resources are absolutely critical to American infrastructure, particularly as we head into the dry summer months. Unfortunately, many communities in the West are bearing the brunt of the Biden administration's failed policies when it comes to long-term water storage and other essential reforms. Today's hearing in the Natural Resources Committee highlighted several Republican-led solutions that would revitalize pumped hydropower storage projects, reauthorize a Bureau of Reclamation program, and allow Bureau of Reclamation water users to prepay what they owe the federal government. The common thread? Increasing flexibility for our local communities and removing bureaucratic red tape."
