Canal Conveyance Capacity Restoration Act

This bill authorizes federal funding to repair subsidence damage in California's water canals, directly affecting public water agencies and communities relying on the Friant-Kern, Delta-Mendota, and California Aqueduct systems. It provides up to 33% federal cost-share for projects restoring conveyance capacity and mitigating land sinking, requiring local partners to contribute the remaining cost through cash or future funding commitments. The bill specifically prohibits using funds for new reservoirs or enlarging canals (except temporary fixes for subsidence), while mandating compliance with environmental laws and groundwater sustainability goals. Funding totals $180 million for Friant-Kern repairs, $184 million for the Federal Aqueduct pool, and $95 million for the non-Federal pool, all subject to cost-share requirements and environmental reviews.
