Water Resources
Welcome! The Water Resource Page was created to better inform AAW members on a variety of water issues. All AAW members are invited to submit information on water issues to the Water Resource Chair. In order to better serve AAW, it is important to establish a network across the membership.

ACTION ALERT
H.R. 2421/S.1870, the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007, would expand jurisdiction of
the federal Clean Water Act to all intrastate waters, including groundwater, ditches,
culverts, pipes, desert washes, sheet flow, erosional features, farm and stock ponds.
The law previously only applied jurisdiction to all “navigable” waters, but the followup
act would remove that word, establishing EPA and Army Corps of Engineers over
all water. AAW members can learn more about H.R. 2421/S.1870 and the Action Alert on
the organization’s website: http://www.americanagriwomen.org/action-alerts
Committee Hearings were held on H.R. 2421 on April 16 and S.1870 on April 9. AAW members can view the webcast and read testimony on the proposed legislation by click on the following links.
