The Biden administration announced it is investing more than $166.5 million dollars to protect America’s watersheds.
Undersecretary for the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service Robert Bonnie says 23 states will receive funding for new dam and flood prevention projects and for repairs on existing watershed infrastructure. “We tend to work in partnership with communities to help repair aging dams, improve irrigation, help folks plan for watershed issues related to drought, flooding, stream stabilization,” he says.
