Interior Deb Haaland and Congressman Gabe Vasquez announced a $12.6 million investment from the President’s Investing in America agenda to support the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. This funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is part of the Biden-Harris administration’s all-of-government effort to enhance the resilience of the West to drought and climate change. Owned and operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, this is a state-of-the-art facility used by government agencies, universities, and private sector companies for desalination research studies, pilot-scale projects and small demonstration projects.
