ASCE Issues Statement on the Passage of the Water Resourced Development Act of 2022
WASHINGTON — The following is a statement by Maria Lehman, P.E., ENV SP, president, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
ASCE applauds Congress for passing the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) for 2022, which was included in the National Defense Authorization Act. The legislation authorizes construction for 25 new and existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) water infrastructure projects, including those related to dams, ports and inland waterways, flood risk management, and storm risk reduction. We are encouraged that the biannual reauthorization of WRDA continues to be a congressional priority.
