A coalition of more than 200 Western farm and water groups is pushing for more funding for canals and reservoirs in President Joe Biden s infrastructure plan. More than 200 groups from Hawaii to Kansas urge lawmakers to include more funding for above- and below-ground water storage.
As drought worsens in the West, a coalition of more than 200 farm and water organizations from 15 states that has been pushing to fix the region s crumbling canals and reservoirs is complaining that President Joe Biden s new infrastructure proposal doesn t provide enough funding for above- or below-ground storage.
Unveiled March 31, Biden s American Jobs Plan outlines $111 billion for drinking water infrastructure; $50 billion for various drought, wildfire and agricultural resources management infrastructure investments; $45 billion for lead pipe cleanup; and $10 billion to monitor drinking water, notes the Association of California Water Agencies.
Ag Reacts to American Infrastructure Proposal

The $2 trillion infrastructure proposal
$100 billion to expand high-speed broadband that would prioritize broadband networks owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, non-profits, and coops. Something Biden has said would encourage connections in rural areas.
Biden: “ Millions of Americans lack access to reliable high-speed internet, including more than 35% of rural America. It’s a disparity even more pronounced during this pandemic. American Jobs will make sure that every single, every single American has access to high quality, high-speed internet.”
But the National Ag and Water Resource Coalition - comprised of more than 200 agricultural organizations and urban and rural water districts say they want to see more investment in the nation’s aging water facilities.

KEEPING WATER FLOWING: Irrigators and urban water users will benefit from a focus on Western water infrastructure, which hasn’t been directly addressed for decades. Water Lines: Before we welcome President Biden, we tip our hats to the crew that left. And we work to move ahead with the new team.
Never in my 30 years of working on Western water resources issues have I seen the needs of our farmers and ranchers being dealt with in a priority manner, through actions directed from the White House and former President Donald Trump’s Cabinet. Many of the focused priorities established by the Family Farm Alliance board of directors four years ago based on recommendations of our advisory committee were tackled head-on by the Trump administration.
