The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, an agency of the Department of the Interior, is one of the principal water management agencies of the federal government. Reclamation was established in 1902 to "reclaim" the arid and semiarid lands of the seventeen western states for settlement through the development of irrigated agriculture.* Over the past century, however, the agency has evolved principally from a developer to a manager of water resources. |
