A resolution designating the week of April 23 through April 29, 2023, as "National Water Week".
This resolution designates the week of April 23-29, 2023, as "National Water Week" through a symbolic Senate resolution. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise awareness about water access challenges facing communities across the U.S., including over 2 million people lacking basic water services and rural systems struggling with infrastructure costs. The resolution highlights issues like aging infrastructure, emerging contaminants, and the need for equitable water solutions without proposing specific policy changes. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect but serves to recognize water-related priorities.
