Water Conservation Economic Adjustment Act

The Water Conservation Economic Adjustment Act amends an existing federal economic development program to provide assistance to communities facing water shortages caused by drought and extreme heat. It adds a new funding category allowing regional economies to receive support for reducing industrial water use that depletes local supplies and upgrading water infrastructure. This change directly affects areas experiencing climate-driven water scarcity, enabling them to adapt their water management practices without creating new programs. The bill modifies an existing law to expand eligibility for assistance, focusing on practical solutions for water conservation and infrastructure resilience.
