Bureau of Reclamation

The Bureau of Reclamation is a U.S. federal agency part of the Department of the Interior. It was established to manage and develop the country's water resources, primarily in the western states. The agency designs and operates dams, canals, and reservoirs to provide water for irrigation, drinking, and hydroelectric power. By ensuring a stable and reliable water supply, the Bureau helps support agriculture, communities, and ecosystems. Its work is crucial for addressing water shortages and promoting sustainable water management in areas that rely heavily on these resources.
