The Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) was established in 1902. Its purpose is to manage and develop the water resources of the U.S. The Bureau is most widely known for its dam construction, irrigation, and hydropower projects.
Government Documents holds an extensive collection of USBR publications, including guides to various dams, reservoirs, and recreation areas controlled by USBR. Other titles include:
