 The Bureau of Reclamation turned 111 years old on June 17, 2013 - President Roosevelt signed the Reclamation Act on June 17, 1902. In July of 1902, Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock established the United States Reclamation Service (USRS) within the USGS. In 1907, the USRS separated from the USGS to become an independent bureau within the Department of the Interior. The USRS was renamed the Bureau of Reclamation in 1923. Photo: Before the Hoover Dam could be built, the Colorado River had to be diverted through tunnels. This piece of equipment, named a Jumbo Rig, was designed to speed up the tunnel drilling process. Built on the back of a 10-ton truck, 24 to 30 drills could be operated at once. Learn more about Reclamation's history at the Reclamation History site.
