Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The DROUGHT Act of 2026 amends the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 to increase federal assistance for water infrastructure projects in drought-affected areas. The bill allows federal funding to cover up to 90 percent of project costs (rather than a lower cap) for projects located in states experiencing severe drought or counties with declared drought emergencies, projects serving low-income areas, or projects designated as regionally or nationally significant based on criteria such as increasing water supply, enhancing water reuse, or reducing regional water usage. The bill prioritizes financing for these covered projects.
