The Congress finds that— evaporative loss along Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs, canals, and other conveyance systems reduces the quantity and reliability of water deliveries; drought and extreme aridity from changing weather patterns will contribute to increased evaporative loss in the future; and existing Central Valley Project operations assume a conveyance loss for evaporation and seepage south of the Delta of 150,000 acre-feet annually. The purpose of this subtitle is to expand investments in infrastructure for Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs, canals, and other conveyance systems, that will provide shade, reduce evaporative loss, and increase water supplies in the arid western States.
