TAAP Act

The Transboundary Aquifer Assessment Program Act extends the funding and authority for a federal program that studies shared underground water sources between the United States and Mexico. This legislation adds Arizona to the list of states eligible for the program, while also updating the funding period to cover fiscal years 2026 through 2036. The bill directly affects the federal agencies responsible for managing water resources and the states of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona by ensuring continued support for their cross-border aquifer assessments.
