USBR (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation)

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is a federal agency responsible for managing water resources primarily in the western United States. It oversees the development and operation of dams, reservoirs, and canals to provide irrigation for agriculture, supply water for cities, and generate hydroelectric power. Established in 1902, USBR plays a key role in water conservation, flood control, and environmental stewardship. Its work supports agricultural productivity, urban growth, and ecological health, ensuring the reliable delivery and sustainable use of water resources across the arid and semi-arid regions it serves.
