In the more than 100 years since its formation, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation of the
Department of Interior (DOI), through its construction program, has brought water,
electric power, and recreation facilities to millions of people in the Western United
States. With major water and power systems in place, the Bureau's attention has now
turned to operation, maintenance, repair, and modernization of those facilities in an
environmentally and economically sound manner. To help with this effort, DOI asked the
NRC to advise the Bureau on "appropriate organizational, management, and resource
configurations to meet its construction, maintenance, and infrastructure requirements for
its missions of the 21st century." This report presents an assessment of the requirements
facing the Bureau in the 21st century, an analysis of good practices and techniques for
addressing those challenges, and a review of workforce and human resource needs. The
report also provides alternative scenarios that describe possible future organizations for infrastructure management.
