Summary

Colorado River Indian Tribes Water Resiliency Act of 2021

This bill authorizes the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) to enter into an agreement or option to lease or exchange a portion of the consumptive use of water to be used off the tribe's reservation if the use off the reservation is located in the Lower Basin in the state of Arizona.

The CRIT is authorized to enter into an agreement, including with the Arizona Water Banking Authority, for the storage of a portion of the consumptive use, or the water received under an exchange pursuant to an exchange agreement under this bill, at one or more underground storage facilities or groundwater savings facilities off the reservation if the facility is located in the Lower Basin.

The Department of the Interior, when approving a lease or exchange or storage agreement, must ensure that such agreement complies with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, and other federal environmental laws.
