Reclamation is proud to celebrate over 37 years of a successful partnership with Taiwan's Water Resources Agency. This collaboration, formalized through a cooperative agreement, exemplifies the strong unofficial relationship between the United States and Taiwan, characterized by significant cultural, commercial, and technical exchanges.
