DENVER -- No longer the nation's dam building agency,
the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is fulfilling its new function of
promoting efficiency in
water resources management by sponsoring a water conservation awards
program.
The bureau's 1995 Leadership in Water Conservation Awards will
recognize
water-saving efforts in the 17 western states.
"Reclamation's number-one priority is to implement water
conservation and
efficiency improvements," noted Commissioner Dan Beard in announcing
the
awards program. "Our goal is to foster further improvement in
efficient use
and management of water supplies," Beard added. A key to achieving
the
effort, he added, "is recognizing those agencies and individuals who
are
making innovative choices in water conservation today."
Nominations are sought from individuals, groups, private
corporations,
product manufacturers, local municipalities, regional governing
bodies, and
federal agencies throughout the U.S. The contest will be conducted
within
five categories: promising product, educational mentor,
innovative
partnership in conservation, small demonstration project, and
long-term
leader. A superior achievement award will also be given to the
most
outstanding nomination from among all entries.
Additional information and nomination forms are available from
