These factors have become major considerations in the making of decisions on how our water resources are allocated to agriculture, municipalities and industries, the development of hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife enhancement, and recreation. On this website, Reclamation projects, substantially complete and in operation, are reviewed in detail with considerable attention to history, costs, beneficiaries, engineering, water data, and productivity. Interactive Maps can also be created by the user showing desired features. The names of projects and their chief features have sometimes changed. Names used during the planning and development stages of projects may later be changed by action of the Congress or upon review by the Board on Geographic Names.
Statistical data are also subject to change.
Dimensions of structures may change because of structural alterations. Reservoir capacities are subject to revision as a result of siltation studies. Changes are sometimes introduced because of different methods of measurement, or because of revised definitions. Reclamation makes every effort to provide accurate data according to the resources available to us. However, because of the changing nature of this information, neither the authors, Reclamation, or any other party involved in preparing the material and data available on or through this site, warrant or represent that the information provided here is in every respect complete and accurate, and are not responsible for errors or omissions.
