Federal Affairs

Based on a survey of TWCA members, the following are TWCA’s top federal water issues. TWCA's federal positions are based on a set of overarching principles that guide our outreach on federal water resources legislation and policy:

1) State Primacy Over Water Resources

2) Clear, Consistent, Predictable, and Economical Federal Regulation

3) Equity in Federal Policy, Partnering, and Investment

4) Science, Transparency, and Public Participation

5) Intergovernmental Coordination with States, Tribes, and Local Project Sponsors
