Collaboration with Partners
Reclamation is working with states, tribes, agriculture, power customers, municipalities, conservation organizations, and other stakeholder communities on projects and activities across the West to address drought conditions and impacts.
A Comprehensive Approach to Drought
Reclamation is leveraging a broad range of tools to address drought, including new infrastructure and water management improvements, optimizing reservoir operations, developing new science and forecasting tools, conducting water supply planning, and more.
Drought Information and Current Conditions
Record high temperatures and dry weather have led to extreme drought conditions across the western United States. These conditions have resulted in below average runoff and water supply for much of the West.
Climate Change and Drought
Understanding how climate change is impacting drought can help water managers plan for the future and adapt to changing conditions.
Acting Together with State, Tribal, and Local Partners
Improving preparedness and response to drought and climate change are top priorities for the Biden-Harris Administration and the Department of the Interior.
