Summary
The DROUGHT Act changes the 2014 Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act to allow up to 90% federal funding for certain water projects. It targets projects in states experiencing severe drought or counties with declared drought emergencies, especially those serving low‑income or affordability‑qualified communities and those deemed regionally or nationally significant. The aim is to improve drinking‑water supply, reuse, conservation, and public‑health outcomes.
