| 英文摘要 | The Bureau of Reclamation has a grand tradition, and this volume tells the fascinating story of that tradition from Reclamation’s beginnings to the end of World War II. The story of Reclamation is deeply entwined in the development of the American West in the twentieth century and beyond. Reclamation was established in 1902 by President Theodore Roosevelt to ’make the desert bloom.’ Reclamation projects have been the seed for many of the modern American West’s large agricultural and metropolitan centers. The Columbia Basin of Washington, the Central Valley of California, the Central Arizona Project, and the Shoshone and Platte River Projects areas of Wyoming are just a few of the many irrigated areas that are vital parts of the economic backbone of the West. Boise, Spokane, Las Vegas, Casper, and El Paso are some of the Western cities that have grown up around Reclamation projects. Today, Reclamation provides one out of five western farmers with water for 10 million irrigated farmland acres. These farmlands produce sixty percent of the nation’s vegetables and twenty-five percent of its fruits and nuts. We are the largest electric utility in the seventeen western states (operating 58 hydropower plants) and the nation’s largest wholesale water supplier, administering 348 reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 245 million acre-feet. Nearly 30 million people all over the West depend on Reclamation projects for their municipal, industrial, and domestic water supplies. Throughout its history, Reclamation has been an innovator in the engineering and science of dam design and construction, hydroelectric power production and delivery, water delivery, conservation, and multipurpose uses of water. |
