Washington, D.C. \u2014 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley\u2014the former Ranking Member on the Appropriations subcommittee that writes our nation\u2019s agriculture funding bill\u2014partnered with U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) to reintroduce the Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables<\/em>. This bipartisan bill would increase the resiliency of American agriculture and communities in Oregon and across the nation to drought by improving the Natural Resources Conservation Service\u2019s (NRCS) Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program (also known as \u201cPL-566\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cClimate chaos-fueled droughts are depleting water resources for people, farms, fish, and wildlife, demanding urgent investments in our irrigation infrastructure. The PL-566 program is an effective modernization tool for irrigation systems to conserve water\u2014keeping farms in operation during droughts while also protecting habitat for wildlife,\u201d<\/strong> said Merkley, who revitalized this program when he served as the top Democrat on the subcommittee in charge of funding the PL-566 program. \u201cOregonians\u2019 ingenuity with this program has supported projects that benefit both farmers and wildlife, becoming a model for folks across the West. Our bipartisan bill expands upon this success and enables rural communities to better mitigate the devastating impacts of drought.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As Oregon and the rest of the American West both face severe drought and more frequent flooding, farmers, ranchers, and communities are turning to the PL-566 program to mitigate the effects of these natural disasters through watershed improvement and modernization projects. While demand for this program grows, inadequate funding and burdensome red tape keep applicants from accessing its full benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

el bipartidista Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables <\/em>agilizar\u00eda los procesos de planificaci\u00f3n y administraci\u00f3n para permitir m\u00e1s proyectos en toda la cuenca, trasladar\u00eda la toma de decisiones al personal local de NRCS, ampliar\u00eda la elegibilidad del programa y permitir\u00eda que los fondos federales cuenten para los requisitos de contrapartida estatales y locales. El proyecto de ley tambi\u00e9n prioriza proyectos con m\u00faltiples beneficios p\u00fablicos y de conservaci\u00f3n y hace de la resiliencia a la sequ\u00eda un prop\u00f3sito expl\u00edcito del programa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAcross the West, farmers and ranchers are navigating one of the most challenging water supply environments in recent memory, and it is clearer than ever that proven, locally driven solutions must be elevated and expanded,\u201d<\/strong> said Sam Barncastle, Executive Director, Family Farm Alliance. "El Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables <\/em>does exactly that. In Oregon, we\u2019ve seen firsthand how the NRCS Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program (PL-566) can deliver meaningful results\u2014modernizing water infrastructure, improving watershed resilience, and protecting rural communities. Many of these successes have been led by Family Farm Alliance members on the ground, demonstrating what\u2019s possible when federal tools are paired with local leadership and expertise. Senator Merkley\u2019s leadership reflects a deep understanding of how to make these programs work effectively, and his state stands as a model for the rest of the West. We are proud to support this legislation and the continued expansion of these successful approaches to benefit more communities facing growing water challenges at a pace never before seen in our history.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIrrigation districts across Oregon are leveraging the Watershed and Flood Prevention Program to advance irrigation modernization projects that deliver multiple benefits for agriculture, the environment, and local communities,\u201d<\/strong> dijo Julie O'Shea, directora ejecutiva de Farmers Conservation Alliance. \u201cThis past winter underscores the urgent need to modernize NRCS\u2019s Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program so it can more effectively support projects that strengthen drought resilience. We thank Senators Merkley, Bennet, and Fischer for reintroducing the Healthy Watersheds, Healthy Communities Act,<\/em> which will expand these efforts and help build more resilient water systems across Oregon and the West.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNRCS\u2019s Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program has been a crucial tool for irrigation districts to modernize their infrastructure to meet the water challenges of today while adapting to meet future water needs. We greatly appreciate Senator Bennet, Senator Fischer, and Senator Merkley reintroducing the Healthy Watersheds, Healthy Communities Act,<\/em> and for their efforts to update this valuable program,\u201d<\/strong> dijo April Snell, directora ejecutiva del Congreso de Recursos H\u00eddricos de Oreg\u00f3n. \u201cThese modest changes are long overdue and will help irrigation districts be more resilient to drought and further catalyze multi-benefit projects being planned and implemented in Oregon and throughout the West.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Deschutes Basin Board of Control is grateful to Senators Jeff Merkley, Michael Bennet, and Deb Fischer for reintroducing the Ley de Cuencas Hidrogr\u00e1ficas Saludables, Comunidades Saludables<\/em>. Programs like PL-566 are essential to advancing irrigation modernization in our basin, providing a pathway for irrigation districts to modernize infrastructure, support communities and agriculture, improve river health, and meet Habitat Conservation Plan commitments while using water more efficiently amid historic drought,\u201d<\/strong> <\/em>said Craig Horrell, president of the Deschutes Basin Board of Control.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
