On Friday, President Obama signed S. 612, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act into law, a bipartisan bill authorizing the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to execute water infrastructure projects. The $12 billion measure authorizes funding for numerous water, wastewater, and flood protection projects throughout the nation. Notably, WIIN is seen as a huge victory for certain stakeholders in California as it will increase water deliveries to drought-stricken Southern California and Central Valley farmers. It will also fund new water supply projects and ecosystem restoration for some of the state’s most sensitive water bodies.
