During the second half of the twentieth century the Bureau of Reclamation underwent transitions reflected in this volume: From Developing to Managing Water, 1945-2000. Change over time marked these years in Bureau of Reclamation history. Beginning with the turbulent postwar years, Reclamation encountered a new urbanized and industrialized West, with multiple-purpose and competing water needs. Overseas, Reclamation engineers played prominent roles in spreading America's technical expertise to a war-torn world. Projects abroad allowed Reclamation to expand its own horizons at home and view water projects from multiple perspectives. Reclamation engineers and planners focused on entire river basins to achieve greater efficiency in water resource management, to ensure ample supplies of water for agricultural and urban needs, and to maximize hydropower production from Reclamation dams.
