United States Bureau of Reclamation

The United States Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency established in 1902. Its primary mission is to manage and develop the nation’s water resources, particularly in the west. The Bureau constructs dams, reservoirs, and irrigation systems to provide water for agriculture, municipal use, and hydroelectric power. By facilitating water management, the Bureau aims to support agriculture, enhance water supply, and promote environmental stewardship. Its work is crucial in regions prone to drought or water scarcity, contributing to economic stability and sustainable water use in the United States.
