Abstract: | |
The Bureau of Reclamation is a bureau of the US Department of the Interior (DOI). The Bureau manages water related resources west of the Mississippi River. Besides being the largest wholesale supplier of water in the United States, the Bureau is the nation's sixth largest hydroelectric power generator. Reclamation projects include 343 storage dams and reservoirs (308 of these sites offer a variety of recreation activities), 58 hydroelectric power plants, and 54,550 miles of canals and other conveyance and distribution facilities. Managing water in the west includes water conservation, treatment, quality, supply, and uses.
The Bureau of Reclamation has a pro-active role in water conservation in the 17 western States. Educating and assisting the public is a major goal in water conservation. The Water Resources Research Laboratory (WRRL) Group and its predecessor, the Hydraulics Branch, have a long history of applying hydraulic modeling expertise to solve water resources, hydraulics, and fluid mechanics problems. The WRRL Group provides technical services and pursues applied research to provide application-based solutions and new water resource management tools to Reclamation managers. The staff of the WRRL provide hydraulic analysis and testing through physical modeling, computer modeling, field investigations, and analytical studies.
