Future Needs for Reclamation in the Western States


Book Description

As one of the studies under Senate Resolution 48, by the Select Committee on National Water Resources, I asked the Department of the Interior to prepare a report for the committee on the needs for future irrigation and reclamation development in the 17 Western States. The Western States have had a more rapid growth in population and economic activity in recent years than the country as a whole. One of the important factors involved in the growth has been the development of the water resources, an important stimulant of which has been the Federal reclamation program.
