In May of 1981, the Secretary of the Interior approved changing the
Water and Power Resources Service back to its former name, the
Bureau of Reclamation.
As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of
the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned
public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the
wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and
wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our
national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoy-
ment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses
our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their
development is in the best interests of all our people. The Depart-
ment also has a major responsibility for American Indian reserva-
tion communities and for people who live in Island Territories
under U.S. administration.
