Infrastructure

Reclamation’s mission is to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. Established in 1902, Reclamation is best known for the dams, power plants, pipelines, and canals constructed in the 17 Western states. These water and power projects led to homesteading and promoted the economic and social development of the West.

• Reclamation Strategic Asset Management Plan

  Reclamation's infrastructure is the foundation for life in the western United States. As our infrastructure continues to age, it is imperative that we maintain our ability to safely and reliably execute our mission. Reclamation's Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) is a tool we will utilize to describe the value we provide the nation and document the investments needed to continue succeeding into the future. In addition, the SAMP provides a reporting framework which Reclamation will employ as it prepares to meet requirements outlined in the Reclamation Transparency Act of 2019 (Title XIII Subtitle G of Public Law 116-9, or 'Act'). The SAMP combines Reclamation's Asset Management Plan and Infrastructure Investment Strategy, while also aligning with International Standards Organization 55000 series standards on Asset Management.
