		"The reclamation which has been so far accomplished has been largely through diversion of small swift streams or of streams of considerable size where the engineering problems were not difficult or the cost of diversion large," the House report said.

		In practice, these latter aspects of the law often prove unworkable, and the effect of the Newlands Act is to institute a massive federally-funded public works program operating under bureaucratic control that measures its success by the number of dams built and the millions of acres of water impounded.
		By this measure, the Newlands Act achieves outstanding success, leading ultimately to the colossal projects of the Depression years: Hoover Dam, the Grand Coulee Dam, Shasta Dam and the Glen Canyon Dam.
		Under the Dawes Act, 700,000 acres of former tribal land is opened to white settlers in Washington, Idaho and Montana.

		Congressional passage of the Newlands Reclamation Act in 1902 heightened expectations in Oregon that federal monies would be available to develop irrigation projects in the arid reaches of the state.
		Under the Newlands Act, the secretary of the interior could designate irrigation projects and establish a reclamation fund from public land sales to finance the construction of reservoirs, canals, laterals, and the like. The Klamath Irrigation Project in 1905 was the most significant of the early reclamation undertakings in Oregon.
		Another early Reclamation Service effort focused on the semi-arid Umatilla region, where the federal government funded the construction of a 100-foot-high, earth-fill dam to provide irrigation water to an area east of the Columbia River.

	'Endangered' Farmers Stage Bucket Brigade Protest -- 05/07/2001
		This year, when it became clear that there would be a shortage of water in the basin, a plan was developed, as in past dry years, to share the limited water among users.
		However, the plan was rejected by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which decided on April 7, under the threat of yet another lawsuit, to allocate nearly all of the water to the sucker fish and coho salmon.
		Monday's symbolic bucket brigade is meant as a strong statement that Endangered Species Act must be changed for the good of the entire country, according to event organizers.
