San Joaquin Valley legislators have joined forces to introduce two bills that would funnel $15 million toward new and existing groundwater recharge projects. The Groundwater Recharge Technical Assistance Act and the Every Drop Counts Act were presented to the House of Representatives Jan. 13 by Congressman Jim Costa (D-Fresno), whose district covers parts of Fresno and Tulare counties. … The bills build upon the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed in 2021. The law is at the root of more than $65 million in investments in San Joaquin Valley water infrastructure, and Costa’s bills propose to add to, or modify the legislation slightly.
