KBC staff report
Oregon State University and University of
California at Davis invite the public to join forces with them Wed,
Dec 20, at the OSU Extension Service’s Klamath County office to help
with a water-related study on the Klamath Basin.
Farmers, conservationists, commercial fishers,
Native Americans and others in the basin, which spans parts of
southern Oregon and northern California, are struggling with
water-related issues.
Goals include sharing what the university
scientists are learning in a baseline assessment of environmental,
economic, institutional and social issues in the basin, and gathering
“local knowledge’ for the assessment, said Tom Gallagher, an OSU
extension specialist.
It is important that people who want to
participate in the meeting read the draft, or at least the sections
that interest them, before coming to the meeting. Copies of the report
draft, about 200 pages, will be available on the World Wide Web
starting Dec. 14 at: http://eesc.orst.edu/klamath. Print shops in
Klamath Falls will be able to use the web document to print parts or
all of the draft for a nominal charge, said Hathaway. Call the Klamath
County Extension Office at 541-883-7131 to learn locations of the
draft in Klamath Falls, Malin and Merrill.
The meeting will be held at the Klamath County
Extension Office at 3328 Vandenburg Rd, Klamath Falls, and will run
from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Come early, as an alternate location probably
may take place due to space considerations.
