	Ecology v. Bureau of Reclamation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The federal government, through the United States Bureau of Reclamation, contracted with local irrigation districts to operate and maintain the facilities and to deliver the water to the basin's farmlands.
		It determined that the statutory requirements for granting the permit were met: public surface water was available for appropriation for a beneficial use; the water was to be put to a beneficial use (irrigation); and appropriation would not impair existing rights or be detrimental to the public welfare.
		The Bureau of Reclamation has gone so far as to maintain that the potential loss of repayment from these sources "seriously jeopardizes the successful completion of the project." While we cannot independently determine if this last assertion overstates the impact on the project, the potential for disruption to the system certainly is present.

	TCS Western Water Program - Bureau of Reclamation
		The West was changed forever by the passage of the Reclamation Act of 1902, which launched a federal effort to "reclaim" the western desert as agricultural land for small farmers.
		Although it was established to help small family farmers, the Bureau has evolved in the last few decades to simply maintaining its position, serving special interests and fueling the concentration of agriculture land to corporate farming.
		Increasingly, federal and state officials are scraping the bottom of the barrel to propose water supply projects which have been studied and rejected over and over again because these projects have been found to be environmentally unsound, not cost justified, and would yield little water.
