The <em>Las<\/em><em> <\/em><em>Vegas<\/em><em> <\/em><em>Wash <\/em><em>Program Extension Act<\/em> would facilitate an additional $25 million for the Las Vegas Wash program to support Southern Nevada Water Authority and the Bureau of Reclamation\u2019s erosion control work, revegetation efforts, scientific studies, and biological restoration activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto have been leaders in the Senate working to combat drought. Earlier this year, Rosen led a group of Senate colleagues, including Senator Cortez Masto, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/03\/21\/rosen-leads-colleagues-in-letter-requesting-funds-to-address-drought-conditions-boat-ramp-closures-at-lake-mead\/\">letter<\/a> to National Park Service Director Charles F. Sams III and Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young urging them to use appropriated funds to address the extreme drought conditions and boat ramp closures at Lake Mead. Both senators also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortezmasto.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/cortez-masto-kelly-and-bennet-announce-agreement-to-include-4b-in-drought-funding-in-the-inflation-reduction-act\">fought to deliver $4 billion to combat drought<\/a> in the states bordering the Colorado River in the <em>Inflation Reduction Act<\/em>. Last year, Rosen and Cortez Masto introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2022\/06\/27\/rosen-cortez-masto-introduce-bills-to-further-efforts-to-combat-drought-protect-lake-mead\/\">two pieces of legislation<\/a> to help continue to combat drought in Nevada and protect Lake Mead.
