The Department of the Interior recently announced the launch of a new large-scale water recycling program and made $180 million in initial funding from President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law available for projects aimed at creating new water supplies that are less vulnerable to drought and climate change.
To date, the Bureau of Reclamation has invested $310 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for projects that advance water recycling and reuse. The new program aims to incentivize projects at a larger scale, with no cap on project size, and could play an important role in helping communities develop local, drought-resistant water supplies
