The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has formally announced two upcoming virtual public sessions for the Western Water Cooperative Committee, a Federal Advisory Committee established to bridge federal and state policy on civil works, water rights, and project operations. Scheduled for October 1 and October 6, 2026, the proceedings mark an important posture review for federal water management authorities across Western states.

The Western Water Cooperative Committee serves as a critical policy nexus between USACE leadership and Western state officials. The October 1 meeting will revisit comprehensive presentations delivered in late 2025 concerning USACE water supply authorities and operational management mandates. The subsequent October 6 session will center on internal committee governance and by-laws, establishing the procedural framework for future intergovernmental consultation and resource coordination.
