Allows USDA to fund and carry out stronger watershed restoration when it benefits long-term watershed health; clarifies Federal cost‑share rules for rehabilitating aging structural flood‑control and watershed projects (generally 65% federal, up to 90% for limited‑resource areas) while requiring local sponsors to cover resource rights and permit costs; and refocuses the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to address natural resource concerns at regional or watershed scale with four explicit goals: soil protection and sustainable use, water conservation and protection, flood and drought risk reduction and resilience, and conservation of wildlife and agricultural land.
