President Biden's Investing in America's Agenda, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, has had a substantial impact on 2024 spring and summer projects in the 17 Western states. Here's how Reclamation is distributing that funding to communities, Tribes, and water users. “And we’re not done yet!” #Reclamation

About us
The Bureau of Reclamation (U.S. Department of the Interior) - Established in 1902, the Bureau of Reclamation is best known for the dams, powerplants and canals it constructed in the 17 western states. These water projects led to homesteading and promoted the economic development of the West. Reclamation has constructed more than 600 dams and reservoirs including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and Grand Coulee on the Columbia River. Today, we are the largest wholesaler of water in the country. We bring water to more than 31 million people, and provide one out of five Western farmers (140,000) with irrigation water for 10 million acres of farmland that produce 60% of the nation's vegetables and 25% of its fruits and nuts.

Reclamation and the Bonneville Power Administration celebrated a significant achievement—the transfer of three Grand Coulee Dam switchyards, switchgear, and equipment. The transfer will occur over a five-year period, paving the way for a long-term plan to fully modernize the switchyards. This new chapter allows our agencies to focus on what they do best—Reclamation’s commitment to managing and delivering our vital water resources, and BPA’s role in transmitting reliable, affordable power. A huge shoutout to the dedicated staff from both agencies who worked tirelessly to make this happen! Their hard work is truly appreciated. Here’s to a brighter future ahead! #Reclamation

🛠️ Reclamation financial support is making a big difference on the American River in California! 🏞️ We, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) banded together to create a plan to repair the shoreline so that we produce a habitat for salmon 🐟 and trout eggs 🥚 to thrive! But how did we know where to start? 🤔 We used decision science! 🔬 By #Unleashingthescience, we can identify habitat restoration needs in the #CentralValleyProject. Decision science helps ensure our actions create the biological outcomes we’re looking for. 💪 The River Bend project means that not only are we set to increase juvenile salmon 🐟🐟… we’re creating an environment for adult salmon to return to the American River so that they can spawn successfully. 🐟🐟🥚🥚 🎉 Link to Press Release: https://lnkd.in/gj_Cq4TH . . . #RiverRepair #Science #HabitatRestoration
