Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 115, Issue 1
Abstract
In 1902, upon passage of the Reclamation Act, the Reclamation Service was organized as a branch of the United States Geologic Survey and so continued until 1904, when the Reclamation Service was established as an independent branch of the United States Department of the Interior. The name of the agency was changed to Bureau of Reclamation in 1923. The operations of the bureau have been guided by the Reclamation Act of 1902, together with numerous acts amending or supplementing it, of which the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 is probably the most important.
