Bill information

Summary

A bill to provide financial assistance for projects to address certain subsidence impacts in the State of California, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill would provide federal money to California for projects that fix problems caused by land sinking, called subsidence. Subsidence often happens when too much water is pumped from underground aquifers, causing the ground to settle and canals to lose capacity. The bill aims to restore the ability of water canals to carry the amount of water they were designed to hold. Dianne Feinstein sponsored the bill, which is currently in the early stage after being introduced to Congress.
