TAAP Act
The TAAP Act reauthorizes the U.S. program for assessing shared aquifers with Mexico, directly affecting water management in border regions. It expands the list of priority aquifers to include Arizona (excluding one specific basin) and extends federal funding authorization from fiscal years 2025 through 2035. The bill updates the program’s legal name and sunset provision to align with its new designation, ensuring continued scientific assessment of transboundary groundwater resources between the U.S. and Mexico.
