	United States Bureau of Reclamation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The United States Bureau of Reclamation (Formerly the United States Reclamation Service) is a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior which oversees water development projects in the western United States.
		Reclamation's redefined official mission is to "manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public." In redirecting its programs and responsibilities, Reclamation substantially reduced its staff levels and budgets but remains a significant Federal agency in the West.
		Reclamation commissioners that have had a strong impact and molding of the Bureau include Mike Straus and Floyd Dominy, New Deal Democrats and public power boosters that ran the Bureau during its heyday years.
