Water Resources Reform and Development Act Select Provisions

The Water Resources Reform & Development Act of 2014 became law on 10 June 2014. Its conference report resolved differences between the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2013 and the Water Resources Development Act of 2013. Policy makers have recently been considering several legislative options to help finance water infrastructure projects, including projects to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water treatment systems. This book examines one particular option, a "Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act", or WIFIA, program, which Congress included in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014. This book also summarises congressional authorisation and appropriations processes for the U.S. Army Corps and discusses agency activities under general authorities.
