Abstract: The 109th Congress is considering a number of bills on western water issues, including title transfer, water recycling (e.g., S. 3639 and H.R. 5768), rural water supply (e.g., S. 895), and drought legislation (e.g., H.R. 5136 and S. 2751). Oversight of CALFED - a joint federal and state program to restore fish and wildlife habitat and address California water supply/quality issues - and Klamath River Basin and San Joaquin River Basin issues are also under consideration.
