AAW Policy Bites: Water Rights & Resource Management

Topic: Water Storage & Drought Resilience

Drought doesn’t just dry up fields — it threatens livelihoods. AAW supports policies that strengthen water storage, conservation, and drought preparedness so agriculture can continue to feed and fuel America.

📌 Our Position: AAW supports federal and state investment in water storage and conveyance systems, rehabilitation of existing reservoirs, and the development of drought management strategies that prioritize agricultural use.

💧 Why It Matters: Reliable water access keeps crops growing, animals healthy, and rural economies strong. Building smarter water systems today means stronger farms tomorrow.
