The Bureau that Changed the West
Season 16 Episode 10 | 26m 48sVideo has Closed Captions
The Bureau of Reclamation's influence on rivers of the West.
No federal agency has changed the face of the West more than the Bureau of Reclamation. Using concrete, and lots of taxpayers' dollars, the Bureau changed rivers and often the entire economic base of a region. Today the Bureau is struggling to find a new mission and many of its former supporters are not happy.
