Klamath Water Shortages
Governor Kulongoski heads south Tuesday to Klamath Falls for a meeting about a potentially severe drought in the Klamath Basin. This year is looking a lot like 2001, when there wasn’t enough water in the system for both farmers and salmon. He’ll meet with federal, state and local officials, as well as representatives for farmers and tribes. The Governor could declare a drought emergency, which would provide financial aid to farmers who may not have enough water to irrigate their crops this year.
