The Reclamation Act (also known as the Lowlands Reclamation Act or National Reclamation Act) of 1902 (Pub.L. 57–161) is a United States federal law that funded irrigation projects for the arid lands of 20 states in the American West.


The act at first covered only 13 of the western states as Texas had no federal lands. Texas was added later by a special act passed in 1906. The act set aside money from sales of semi-arid public lands for the construction and maintenance of irrigation projects. The newly irrigated land would be sold and money would be put into a revolving fund that supported more such projects. This led to the eventual damming of nearly every major western river.[citation needed] Under the act, the Secretary of the Interior created the United States Reclamation Service within the United States Geological Survey to administer the program. In 1907, the Service became a separate organization within the Department of the Interior and was renamed the United States Bureau of Reclamation.


The Act was drafted by Democratic Congressional Representative Francis G. Newlands of Nevada. Many of the loans made to farmers—loans funded by the sales of federal land—were never repaid.[1] Amendments made by the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 gave the Department of the Interior, among other things, the authority to amend repayment contracts and to extend repayment for not more than 40 years. Amendments made by the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-293) eliminated the residency requirement provisions of reclamation law, raised the acreage limitation on lands irrigated with water supplied by the Bureau of Reclamation, and established and required full-cost rates for land receiving water above the acreage limit.

In what way were artists of the northern renaissance different from the artists of the italian renaissance
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct option is:

They primarily painted their works using oil paint.

During the Italian Renaissance, some remarkable egg tempera paintings and frescoes were produced. The northern renaissance didn't present that kind of frescoes because the climate wasn't appropriate to cure them. That´s why the north developed the chemistry of oil paints, so artists could have a medium that would dry and last.

This artifact has a big impact in the world especially since everyone has a story. We would know nothing about Greece if it was not for the artifacts we found over the years. We got to know how they lived and how they survived. We also got to know more about their religion and how it was worshipped.
