Requires a study on bringing Missouri River water to Western South Dakota homes and businesses.
This bill would require a federal study. It would look at bringing Missouri River water to homes and businesses in Western South Dakota. The study would help decide if a new water project is possible. The federal government would pay up to half of the study's cost.
Right now, there is no federal requirement for the government to study a new water supply project for Western South Dakota. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of the Interior would have to conduct a study on bringing Missouri River water to the region. The federal government would pay up to 50% of this study's cost, with $10 million set aside for it.
