Is this an opportunity that opened up with this administration? Or has the BLM been quietly processing these for the last century?

AFAIK it's been available since the 1870s but after the 20s they clamped down a lot harder on ensuring you were actually irrigating it and had agricultural plans.

I'm not sure if the BLM has relaxed their discretion under Trump.
