South Dakota Water Feasibility Studies Act

Key claim: HR9785, the South Dakota Water Feasibility Studies Act, has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Abstract

(HR9785 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-20): Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

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.
