The Bureau of Reclamation announced in early March that irrigation supplies from the Upper Klamath Lake are anticipated to meet demand this year.
In a letter dated March 6 to the Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA), Reclamation said current and anticipated hydrologic conditions in the Upper Klamath Basin are likely to satisfy irrigation demand of the Klamath Project. Confirmation of favorable water delivery will be dependent on hydrologic conditions between March and April 1, but the agency expects water to be available at the start of April.
“While specific details on projected demand and total supply were not provided, this update is encouraging news,” KWUA said.
