Reliable water infrastructure is the foundation of thriving communities, productive agriculture, and a strong Western economy. That’s why Family Farm Alliance is encouraged to see significant progress on water infrastructure investments across the West.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation currently has $7 billion in construction underway at 117 high-profile project locations. These projects are being carried out in partnership with local water and power districts that deliver essential services to millions of people, including farmers, ranchers, businesses, and communities throughout the West.

The accompanying map highlights the breadth of these investments, demonstrating the scale and geographic reach of Reclamation’s ongoing work. From modernizing aging infrastructure to improving water delivery systems and strengthening long-term water reliability, these projects represent meaningful progress toward meeting the West’s growing water challenges.

As demands on our water resources continue to increase, sustained investment in infrastructure remains more important than ever. Modern, resilient water systems are critical to supporting agricultural production, protecting local economies, enhancing drought resilience, and ensuring reliable water supplies for future generations.

Family Farm Alliance has long advocated for policies and funding that prioritize Western water infrastructure. We are pleased to see these important projects moving forward and remain committed to working with federal, state, and local partners to ensure that investments in water infrastructure continue to be a national priority.

Strong infrastructure today means a stronger, more resilient West tomorrow.
