Use of Funds
Allowed Uses
Funds are for two purposes: (1) to prepare a study for Congress on existing conditions and potential irrigation rehabilitation projects; and (2) to construct irrigation rehabilitation projects after the study is approved by Congress.
Matching Requirements
None for the study report. For construction, the authorizing legislation requires a 25% non-federal cost share. The cost share requirements can be waived by the Secretary of the Interior due to financial hardship on the part of pueblos.
