Time to Take Action
Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources.
 

Klamath River.

NHI represents conservation groups and public agencies in relicensing proceedings throughout the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain states.  Our general objective is that each new license will enhance anadromous and riverine fisheries, riparian habitat, and recreation. 

We represent The Nature Conservancy-Washington State Chapter in the relicensing proceeding for Puget Sound Energy’s Baker Project.  The resulting settlement (2006) requires flows and physical measures (including gravel placement) for enhancement of anadromous fisheries. 

 NHI represents American Rivers and California Trout in an ongoing effort to decommission PacifiCorp’s Klamath River Project, so as to restore free passage from the Pacific Ocean more than 250 miles upstream to Upper Klamath Lake.  We also negotiate with federal and state agencies, tribes, irrigation districts, and affected counties to develop a regional agreement on water allocation for fisheries, power generation, and irrigation supply, in this basin which is roughly the size of New England.  If successful, these efforts will restore what was once the third largest anadromous fishery on the entire West Coast, as well as the economic and cultural welfare of communities throughout this basin.
