Strategies to Support Reliable Water and Power Deliveries
Reclamation works with a multitude of customers, stakeholders, and other partners to address vulnerabilities to increased risks of drought as well as changes to precipitation, runoff and increased temperatures that will build resilience to climate change in Western river basins. For example, Reclamation supports reliable water deliveries through hundreds of ongoing construction activities, a range of water management improvements—from water reuse to software maximizing the amount of power produced with available water supplies—and building partnerships across the West to maintain streamflow for fish and improve habitat. Reclamation also incorporates climate change information into risk assessments for infrastructure and drought planning, and developing improved decision support tools to manage risks from wildfires. This section highlights example actions supporting four strategy areas.
