What it does
The Advancing Water Research and Collaboration Act of 2025 (AWRC Act) reauthorizes the Water Resources Research and Technology Institutes program under the Water Resources Research Act of 1984, extending annual funding of $16 million for fiscal years 2026 through 2029. It amends the program’s purpose to explicitly include the growing artificial intelligence industry within private industry collaboration and restructures funding allocations, directing 20% of appropriated funds toward research on interstate water problems. The bill modifies grant administration by redefining eligible research priorities and updating procedural language regarding fund availability and cost-sharing requirements.
