Summary
Water Resources Research Act Amendments of 2005 - Amends the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 to require each water resources research and technology institute to plan, conduct, or otherwise arrange for competent applied and peer reviewed research that fosters specified goals, including creating new water supplies and solving water supply problems. Directs the Secretary to evaluate each institute at least once every three (currently, five) years to determine, among other things, the effectiveness of its water resources research. Reauthorizes appropriations for FY2006-FY2010, including additional appropriations for research focused on interstate water problems. Requires the Secretary, as part of the annual budget submission to Congress, to provide a crosscut budget detailing expenditures on institute activities and a report on the annual increase in water supplies, annual water yields, advances in water infrastructure improvements, and the level of applied research. Limits amounts utilized for administrative costs to 5% (currently, 15%) of appropriated sums.
