Description

The Dept. of the Interioräó»s Bureau of Reclamation finances and builds water projects to provide water for irrigation and other uses in 17 western states. The costs to construct the water projects -- a combined total of more than $20 billion -- were primarily financed by the federal government, but irrigation districts and other water users that receive project water must repay the government for their allocated share of construction costs. Reclamation typically enters into multiyear contracts with irrigation districts that establish water delivery and repayment of their share of construction costs over time. This report examines (1) the extent to which Reclamation collects and reports information on construction costs and the status of repayment; and (2) the extent to which irrigation districts can repay early and the implications of early repayment. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
