A bill to improve the operations of certain water resource projects.

Summary

Amends the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act to set a limitation of $10,000,000 for the Federal contribution for the construction of any flood prevention, water conservation, or land conservation project, which has been approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation. Stipulates that each such project must contain benefits directly related to agriculture that account for at least 20 percent of the total benefits of the project. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Administrator of the Soil Conservation Service to report by April 1, 1980, to the appropriate committees of the Senate and House of Representatives regarding the feasibility, desirability, and the public interest involved in requiring that full public access be provided to specified water impoundments that have a recreational-related potential.
