Western Areas Reclaimed Vision by Interior Secretary Krug
Secretary Krug envisions up to 10 million settlers in western reclamation regions by 1980. The plan targets irrigating 15 million acres and generating up to 22 million kilowatts of hydro power, funded by about 2.148 billion dollars over seven years through 1954. The program would add 4 million irrigated acres and 2.25 million kilowatts of capacity, equal to power for 21 cities like Denver, with total investment near 15 billion dollars. Krug argues this region offers unparalleled economic opportunity for the anticipated population growth.
