Answer 1

Yes, the correct answer is D. The National Reclamation Act of 1902 provided proceeds from the sale of public lands for the construction of dams, canals, and irrigation systems in sixteen Western states. This act, also known as the Newlands Act after its sponsor Senator Francis G. Newlands, aimed to promote the development and utilization of water resources in arid regions of the United States. It established the United States Reclamation Service, which later became the Bureau of Reclamation, to oversee the planning and construction of these water projects.
