The Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program Authorization Act ( 43 U.S.C. 1477 ) is amended— in subsection (c)(2)— in subparagraph (A), by striking culminating in the report required under subsection (d)(3) and inserting with an emphasis on deployment of technologies that provide integration of snowpack measuring and modeling ; and in subparagraph (B), by striking after submitting the report required by subsection (d)(3), ; in subsection (d)— in paragraph (1)— in the heading, by adding after with integrated modeling ; data by striking emerging technologies for snowpack measurement, such as and inserting technologies that provide complete integration of accurate, timely, and spatially complete snowpack measurements and models, including the integration of ; and by striking subparagraphs
(A)through
(C)and inserting the following: airborne laser altimetry; imaging spectroscopy; integrated physics-based snowpack and hydrologic modeling; and other technologies that the Secretary determines are likely to provide more accurate or timely snowpack measurement data commensurate with operational water management needs. ; in paragraph
(2)by inserting , including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, after other Federal agencies ; and by striking paragraph (3); in subsection (e)— in paragraph (1), by striking After submitting the report required under subsection (d)(3), the and inserting The ; and by striking paragraph
(2)and inserting the following: The program shall focus on activities that will maintain, establish, expand, or advance snowpack measurement and integrated modeling, with an emphasis on— enhancing activities to achieve improved snow and water supply forecasting results that are more responsive to changing weather and watershed conditions; real-time integration of activities described in this section with water supply forecasts; activities in river basins where activities described in this section can produce snow and water supply data to inform water management decisions, including interstate water management decisions; and building program partners’ capacity to implement and adapt to the new measurement and forecast capabilities enabled under this program. ; in subsection (f)— by striking of this Act and inserting of the ; Snow Water Supply Forecasting Reauthorization Act of 2025 in paragraph (1)— by striking and sub-basins ; by striking technologies and inserting and integrated modeling technologies ; and by striking technology used and inserting application, outcome, and data resources used ; and in paragraph (2), by striking or sub-basin ; and in subsection (g), by striking $15,000,000, in the aggregate, for fiscal years 2022 through 2026 and inserting $3,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2031 .
