The United States House of Representatives, 111th Congress, will soon begin consideration of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2010. WRDA is the comprehensive water resources law, typically authorized every two years. Specifically, WRDA authorizes studies and projects within the U.S Army Corps of Engineers mission areas, including navigation, flood control, hurricane and storm damage reduction, shoreline protection, and ecosystem restoration. The projects must be feasible and justified on the basis of Army Corps policy and regulation.
