Welcome to the official Web site of the Great Plains Region.

The Great Plains Regional headquarters is located at: 316 N. 26th Street, Billings Mont.

The Great Plains Region consists of six area offices managing operations in nine states. The GP Region is the largest and most ecologically diverse region of the Bureau of Reclamation, encompassing all or parts of nine western states extending from the Canadian border adjoining Montana and North Dakota to the southern tip of Texas.

This region manages over 150 major water storage and delivery structures associated with 80 reservoirs. Over 1,000 water service and repayment contracts are administered for the region's projects to provide water to irrigate over two million acres of farmland and to meet the daily needs of over two million people. The region's 21 powerplants generate over three billion kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to meet the power needs of about a quarter million homes. Recreation is also an important use of the region's reservoirs with over 14 million visits annually.
