摘要

The Bureau of Reclamation, a bureau within the U.S. Department of the Interior, was established as the Reclamation Service in 1902. Its purpose was to settle the West by providing essential water supplies. Reclamation has accomplished that mission and now seeks to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. Reclamation is celebrating 100 years of providing water to the western United States. It began its centennial on June 17, 2002, with an event at Hoover Dam, one of the bureau's most well-known, largest facilities. Approximately 2,200 people attended the event. Other events and exhibits will occur throughout the West during the centennial year. Reclamation's history program is an essential part of the bureau, providing an oral history program, a project history program, and other preservation tools. Much of this information is available to those interested in learning about the bureau's history.
