The legislature approves the Western Dakota Regional Water System's application to reserve about 20,765 acre-feet of water annually from the Missouri River for future use by 20 counties in western South Dakota. State law requires legislative approval for water permits exceeding 10,000 acre-feet per year, and the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources has already recommended approval of this application.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
