Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations (WFPO) Program
Funded under the USDA’s the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations Program is intended to assist localities in purchasing and restoring floodplain easements and investment in both structural and non-structural watershed infrastructure improvements. According to the new law, the funding under this program is administered via loans to sponsoring local organizations of authorized watershed projects. These "organizations" include any state, political subdivision thereof, soil or water conservation district, flood prevention or control district or combinations thereof, or any other agency having authority under state law to carry out, maintain and operate the works of improvement; or any irrigation or reservoir company, water users' association or similar organization having such authority and not being operated for profit that may be approved by the Secretary; or any Indian tribe or tribal organization having authority under Federal, State, or Indian tribal law to carry out, maintain, and operate the works of improvement.

Small Watershed Program
For the NRCS' Watershed Rehabilitation Program, meant to rehabilitate aging flood control infrastructure, loans will also be dispersed to sponsoring local organizations of authorized watershed projects (same types of "organizations" as the WFPO program). Priority for these loans will be given to projects that are at greatest risk of failure and present threats to public safety and projects that that can obligate and expend funds cost effectively and quickly. In addition, like the WFPO program, NRCS must fully fund the cost of completing rehabilitation projects initiated with the funding allocated.

Civil Works Program, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Of the amount funded in the Construction General account of new law, the Corps is required to allocate at least $200 million for water-related environmental infrastructure assistance for existing projects. The law also limits funding to projects that can be carried out without new budget authority, but the law waives portions of existing law that cap annual spending on certain Corps projects or limit total project costs.
