Michael L. Connor: “Thanks to bipartisan congressional action, EPA is investing more than $50 billion through the Bipartisan Infrastructure…”

The current water supply situation infrastructure in California is just unsustainable.

We need to invest more in resilience. There is no question about it, given all the factors that you just enunciated.

I would like to recognize that for over 25 years, the Federal government, together with Indian tribes, states, and local parties, have acknowledged that negotiated Indian water rights settlements are preferable to the protracted litigation.

Indian water rights settlements, when they are done right, produce critical benefits for tribes and bring together communities.
