Why this matters
Feasibility study authorizations are the upstream step that determines whether federal cost-share dollars eventually flow to state and local water infrastructure. Tracking these bills matters because they shape the pipeline of future Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps projects and set the scope (municipal supply, irrigation, watershed) for later appropriations decisions.
