The Biden administration announced on Thursday that it would be investing $343 million in enhancing tribal water resources and boosting conservation efforts across the Colorado River Basin.

More than two-thirds of that total — $233 million — will be heading to the Gila River Indian Community for water conservation projects, which will help ensure the stability and sustainability of the Colorado River for water users across the basin, according to the Interior Department.

The funds come from a $15.4 billion allocation from the bipartisan infrastructure law and Inflation Reduction Act, which serves to bolster the West’s resilience to drought, a White House Fact Sheet stated.

“We have historic, once-in-a-generation investments to expand access to clean drinking water for families, farmers and Tribes,” Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau said a statement issued ahead of an inaugural event in Phoenix on Thursday.

Within the $233 million sum is a $83 million investment in a Gila River Indian Community pipeline project that will expand water reuse, the Interior Department stated.
