The California-Oregon boundary is experiencing extreme drought, based on Fox News.
“This year’s drought conditions are bringing unprecedented hardship to the communities of the Klamath Basin,” said Reclamation Deputy Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton.
“Reclamation is dedicated to working with our water users, tribes and partners to get through this difficult year and developing long-term solutions for the basin.”
“This just couldn’t be worse,” said Klamath Irrigation District president Ty Kliewer.
“The impacts to our family farms and these rural communities will be off the scale.”
“Right now, the Klamath River is full of dead and dying fish on the Yurok Reservation,” said Frankie Myers.
“This disease will kill most of the baby salmon in the Klamath, which will impact fish runs for many years to come. For salmon people, a juvenile fish kill is an absolute worst-case scenario.”
