• Better coordination among federal agencies on water resource management, potentially reducing bureaucratic overlap and streamlining water infrastructure projects
• Improved water supply reliability, quality, and drought resilience through focused multi-agency initiatives
• Enhanced data collection and forecasting capabilities for water resource management
• Support for recruitment and training of water sector professionals to ensure adequate staffing for critical water infrastructure
