Title	Restoring the West's waters, opportunities for the Bureau of Reclamation
Description	This two-volume report sets out the results of a research project under taken by the Natural Resources Law Center examining opportunities to change the manner in which water demands in the West, traditionally served by Bureau of Reclamation projects, are satisfied. In the first phase of the project, we looked at 15 Bureau of Reclamation projects located throughout the West where some type of change was under way to address environmental concerns. Volume 1, Section One, sets out a summary of our findings from phase one, and the preliminary conclusions in which we identified several types of opportunities for changes in Reclamation projects that have the potential to produce environmental benefits without necessarily reducing traditional economic benefits. We refer to these as first generation changes. The details of our 15 case studies are set out in Volume 1, Section Two. Volume 2 contains the results of the second phase of the project. Incorporating many of the smaller geographic settings included in the 15 earlier studies, these broader, basinwide studies focused on six rivers or river segments in which Reclamation operations play a significant role in river management. Not only do they cover a larger geographic area, they also include a much more complex set of legal and institutional issues that must be considered in any proposals to modify traditional water management for environmental benefits. This report represents the work of several current and former staff members of the Center, including former Director Lawrence J. MacDonnell, former Associate Directors Sarah Bates (now Sarah Van de Watering) and Judith Jacobsen, and Senior Staff Attorney Teresa Rice. Several Center student research associates drafted the 15 case studies in Volume 1, Section Two, and their names are acknowledged at the beginning of each case study. The contents of this report were developed under a joint grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Department of the Interior. Support from the Ford Foundation also contributed to the research conducted in the second phase of the project. This publication is a product of the Natural Resources Law Center, a research and public education center at the University of Colorado School of Law. The Center alone is responsible for the opinions and conclusions in this publication. Thus, interpretations or conclusions in Natural Resources Law Center publications should be understood to be solely those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Center, the University of Colorado, the State of Colorado, or any of the organizations that support Natural Resources Law Center research.
