Meet our Regional Director
As Regional Director for the Mid-Pacific Region, Don Glaser oversees the management of the Bureau of Reclamation's water projects in an area encompassing the northern two-thirds of California, most of western Nevada, and part of southern Oregon.
In addition to the Regional Office headquarters in Sacramento, California, the Region includes five Area Offices located in Klamath Falls, Oregon; Carson City, Nevada; and Redding, Folsom, and Fresno, California; and two specialized offices, the MP Construction Office located in Willows, California; and the Central Valley Operations Office in Sacramento.
Appointed Regional Director in May 2008, Don is responsible for one of Reclamation's best-known projects, California's Central Valley Project (CVP), the largest irrigation project in the Nation. The CVP provides urban water for more than 3 million people, irrigation water to more than 3 million acres, industrial water for key economic areas of California such as the Silicon Valley, and environmental water for wildlife needs and fishery restoration, and also generates some 5.6 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
Don's experiences are varied and include 20 years with Reclamation in several positions throughout the West and in Washington, D.C., including Assistant Commissioner for Resources Management and Deputy Commissioner. Official Bio...
