Bureau of Reclamation to invest $1.2M in updated science for Klamath Project
Among the projects, the bureau promises to update a 20-year-old assessment of streamflows in the lower Klamath River for Coho salmon and re-evaluate how water levels in Upper Klamath Lake are affecting the survival of endangered sucker fish. Farmers in the Klamath Project have long argued that flawed or outdated science is chipping away at the amount of water they receive each year to irrigate crops.
