The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) is an important piece of legislation that is traditionally passed every two years to authorize U.S. Army Corps of Engineers activities for flood control, navigation, and ecosystem restoration. Prior years' WRDA bills have also included provisions addressing water infrastructure policy and financing. This year, the Senate WRDA bill is particularly comprehensive and includes provisions addressing affordability, integrated planning, green infrastructure for stormwater management, municipal engagement with USEPA, and more which could benefit clean water utilities. Meanwhile the House WRDA package includes a provision supported by NACWA to improve collaboration between entities of local government and the U.S. Army Corps at the nexus of flood control and stormwater management and reuse. WRDA presents a strong opportunity to advance long-term clean water priorities and NACWA is advocating strongly for its passage with key clean water provisions included.
