South Dakota is appropriating $1.27 million from its water and environment fund to support two specific water projects: $1.02 million for groundwater studies in the Black Hills and Sioux Falls regions (including drilling new observation wells), and $249,727 for a flood control feasibility study of the Big Sioux River near Watertown. The bill declares this spending an emergency, meaning the funds are available immediately rather than waiting for the normal budget cycle.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
