The Army Corps of Engineers has released a detailed list of how it will divide $1.8 billion in fiscal-year 2018 civil-works funding among various projects.

New water-resources legislation, including funds for Army Corps of Engineers projects, continues to advance on Capitol Hill as Senate and House lawmakers seek to follow recent history by enacting such legislation every two years.
