The Rural Water Security Act proposes to amend the Water Resources Development Act of 1999 , specifically targeting Section 595. This section is responsible for establishing and governing the Western Rural Water Program, which provides assistance for water infrastructure projects in eligible western states. The primary objective of this bill is to expand the geographic scope of this program by explicitly including Colorado . It achieves this by inserting "Colorado," into three different subsections (b), (c)(1), and (i)(1) of Section 595, alongside other states already participating. This legislative change would make Colorado eligible for the benefits and resources offered through the Western Rural Water Program, supporting water security in its rural areas.
