The bill revises eligibility and federal cost-sharing for certain desalination projects and creates competitive grants to test technologies and assess their costs.AI-written
Federal help for desalination projects gets updated, and new grants would test pilot systems. Eligible projects could receive federal participation of up to 25% of costs, with no dollar cap.
The bill could make federal cost-sharing available for qualifying projects at up to 25% of total project costs, without a dollar limit on federal participation per project. It would also require competitive grants for advanced pilot systems, including systems that turn saline water, seawater, brackish water, or wastewater into usable water and systems that treat or manage brine.
