House Transportation Committee to mark up water infrastructure bill on July 1
Lawmakers are preparing to advance a new water infrastructure package as the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee schedules a July 1 markup in Washington. The measure covers ports and harbors, inland waterways, flood and storm risk management, and other parts of the nation’s water resources system.
Highlights
- The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will review the Water Resources Development Act of 2026 at a markup session on July 1, 2026.
- The bill aims to improve U.S. ports, harbors, inland waterway navigation, environmental projects, and flood and storm risk management infrastructure.
- Advancement of this bill will shape federal planning for navigation, coastal protection, and civil works, with further details pending public release.
July 1 markup agenda and bill scope
As announced by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the panel meets at 10:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, in the Rayburn House Office Building to review several items, including the Water Resources Development Act of 2026.Chairman Sam Graves says the committee considers an amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. ____, the Water Resources Development Act of 2026. The legislation is designed to improve U.S. ports and harbors, the inland waterway navigation system, environmental projects, and flood and storm risk management infrastructure.
The committee agenda also includes General Services Administration Capital Investment and Leasing Program resolutions, along with approval of updated subcommittee rosters following changes on the majority side.
Implications for U.S. infrastructure planning
The scheduled markup marks an early legislative step for one of the main water infrastructure packages handled by the committee. If advanced, the bill would feed into broader federal planning for navigation, coastal protection, and related civil works priorities.The committee says additional information, including full legislative text and a live webcast link, will be posted when available. That next release is likely to give ports, waterways operators, contractors, and local governments a clearer view of project priorities under the 2026 measure.
Our earlier coverage of Palantir’s expanded partnership with Nvidia examined how the deal is aimed at delivering AI tools in secure environments for U.S. government agencies and critical infrastructure operators. The piece also noted the U.S. Army’s move to adopt Palantir Foundry for command-and-control modernization, framing it as part of a broader push to upgrade public-sector systems despite near-term market volatility.
