What began as the underwriting of a variety of projects to create family farms and farming communities had become by the 1930's a massive public works and regional development program, with an emphasis on the urban as much as on the rural West.Reclamation of landWest (U.S.)History20th centuryWater-supplyGovernment policyWest (U.S.)History20th centuryWest (U.S.)Economic conditions20th century1930s.agriculture.american west.arable land.arizona.boulder dam.bureau of indian affairs.bureau of reclamation.california.carey act.drought.ecology.family farms.farming communities.farming.frontier.government programs.irrigation projects.land development.land management.native americans.nature.nonfiction.pima.politics.public works.rupert idaho.rural.social program.teddy roosevelt.the new deal.twin falls.urban america.us history.water policy.water rights.water use.water.western history.yakima.Reclamation of landHistoryWater-supplyGovernment policyHistory333.91/15/0978Pisani Donald J1558095MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780377203321Water and American government3822221UNINA
