Wilson announced that they are sponsoring legislation to authorize and <br />expand a federal water assistance program that has been used by New Mexico irrigation districts to <br />improve water use efficiency and conservation. <br />Domenici has introduced legislation in the Senate, and Wilson will follow with a measure in the House, to <br />authorize the Water 2025 grant program. The bill (S.2561) will formally sanction the grant program <br />which is administered by the Bureau of Reclamation through its Water 2025 initiative. Authorizing the <br />grant program would ensure a steadier flow of federal funding. The Domenici- Wilson legislative effort <br />would allow up to $25 million annually for grant awards through 2016. <br />The New Mexico lawmakers offered the legislation as one means of providing communities and water <br />systems with an avenue to gain federal assistance for projects related to water conservation. water use <br />efficiency, water markets, enhanced water management, or actions to prevent water-related crises or <br />conflicts in watersheds. <br />The new legislation authorizes the Secretary of Interior to provide grants on a competitive basis to plan. <br />design. construct, or otherwise implement improvements to conserve water. The goals of the grants would <br />. be to increase water use efficiency, facilitate water markets, enhance water management, or implement <br />other actions to prevent water-related crises or conflicts in watersheds that have a nexus to federal water <br />projects in the West. Any grants will require a 50 percent non-federal cost share. <br /> <br />Tancredo Would Run for Senate, Post-Allard: On Mar. 22, Rep. Tom Tancredo announced he will run <br />for the u.S.
