Performance Management (GPRA)
Highlights

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) 

The goal of GPRA is to improve the performance of government agencies.  GPRA seeks to make the Federal Government more accountable to the American people for the tax dollars it spends and the results it achieves.  Reclamation relies on feedback from employees, customers, and stakeholders to meet these objectives.  GPRA requires Federal agencies to:

  • Develop and implement both strategic and annual plans that align agency resources with program objectives
  • Track and report on their performance.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The Bureau of Reclamation manages, develops and protects water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.

Reclamation's Priorities for Continued Success in Managing Water Resources:


Reclamation has outlined four overarching goals that emphasize our mission to deliver water and generate power while addressing other water use requirements and planning for future water needs to avoid crisis and conflict:
  • Ensure the reliable delivery of water under Reclamation contracts.
  • Optimize power generation, consistent with project purposes.
  • Incorporate other considerations, such as recreation, fish and wildlife, environment, and Native American trust responsibilities, into our water and power operations.
  • Identify and plan for future consumptive and non-consumptive water supply needs by identifying unmet needs in the next 25 years.
