Information About

Laguna Diversion Dam




The dam was built due to the passage of the Reclamation Act by the US Congress in 1902, creating the Bureau Of Reclamation , originally known as the U.S. Reclamation Service. In 1903 the U.S. Reclamation Service moved into the Yuma area and created what was called "the great Yuma Irrigation Project." This project was the first development of the U.S. Reclamation Service along the Lower Colorado River .
