SCR607

This resolution expresses South Dakota's support for federal funding and authorization of four major rural water supply projects designed to address water shortages across different regions of the state: the Dakota Mainstem, Western Dakota, Lewis and Clark, and one additional project. The resolution doesn't change state law itself—it's a statement of support meant to encourage Congress to invest in and approve these regional water infrastructure initiatives. It essentially tells the federal government that South Dakota wants help solving rural water supply challenges that local systems alone cannot fix.
