TAAP Act

This bill reauthorizes the U.S.-Mexico Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program (TAAP) through fiscal year 2035, extending funding beyond the previous 2007-2016 period. It updates the list of priority aquifers to include Arizona (excluding a specific Yuma basin area) alongside New Mexico and Texas, and revises the program's sunset clause to reference the new TAAP Act name. The law directly affects water management in border states (New Mexico, Texas, Arizona) and Mexico by requiring ongoing assessment of shared groundwater resources. Key provisions include expanded aquifer designation, extended federal funding authorization, and updated program duration to ensure continued cross-border water resource analysis.
