US Bureau of Reclamation

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency focused on managing water resources in the western United States. Established in 1902, it primarily works to develop and maintain water supply projects, such as dams and reservoirs, primarily for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. It also plays a key role in hydroelectric power generation and ecosystem restoration. By ensuring a reliable water supply, the Bureau supports agriculture, communities, and environmental sustainability, addressing water scarcity issues in arid regions while collaborating with various stakeholders to balance water needs.
