	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.

		Mary reservoir of the United States Reclamation Service were that they should be paid the sum of $7,500 for the improvements on such selections, and be subsequently allowed to select allotments of equal area, or as provided by law, from the unoccupied lands of the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.

		The reclamation projects undertaken by the government are very extensive and cover many states; and they must involve in their construction the flooding of lands in connection with dams designed to hold water for such purposes; and must necessarily include much territory which is included in Indian reservations.

	Withdrawl of Roosevelt Dam: National Historic Landmarks Program (NHL)
		The Reclamation Act of 1902 created the United States Reclamation Service whose purpose was to design and construct irrigation projects to aid the settlement of the arid west.
		After serious flooding in November 1905 destroyed the upstream cofferdam and timber flume, O'Rourke and the Reclamation Service agreed that reconstructing the flume would be useless; they decided instead to use the sluicing tunnel already drilled through the south canyon wall as the exclusive means of diverting water around the damsite.
		The following June, the Reclamation Service declared the dam to be "practically complete" except for a small amount of work remaining to be done on the parapet walls, the spillways, and the reinforced concrete bridges over the spillways.

		Before proceeding to an examination of the areas in the United States subject to the methods of dry-farming it may be well to define somewhat more clearly the terms ordinarily used in the description of the great territory involved in the discussion.
		The states lying west of the 100th meridian are loosely spoken of as arid, semiarid, or sub-humid states.
		Nearly one half of the United States receives 20 inches or less rainfall annually; and that when the strip receiving between 20 and 30 inches is added, the whole area directly subject to reclamation by irrigation or dry-farming is considerably more than one half (63 per cent) of the whole area of the United States.
