of Reclamation Klamath Basin Area Office |

Located
in Klamath Falls in southern Oregon, the Klamath Basin Area
Office (KBAO) manages the Klamath Project, a Federal storage
project built in the early 1900's to provide irrigation for
about 240,000 acres. The project occupies portions of the Klamath
River and Lost River watersheds with the Klamath River Basin.
In addition, four national wildlife refuges are adjacent to
or within the project boundaries and receive water from from
or are associated with project facilities. Major facilities
include: Link River Dam, Clear Lake Dam and Gerber
Dam. |

Department of the Interior |

Provides
updates on Gail Norton activities and the work of the Bush-mandated
Klamath River Basin Working Group (Venneman of the Ag Dept,
Donald Evans Sec of Commerce, and James Connaughton, chairman
Council on Environmental Quality.) to find a way to solve K
Basin's problems related to water. |
| Klamath
River Bain Conservation Area Restoration Program
|
| |
The
goal of the Klamath River Basin Conservation Area Restoration
Program is to restore the anadromous fish, primarily salmon
and steelhead, of the Klamath River Basin. The U. S. Congress
authorized the twenty year restoration program in 1986 under
Public Law 99-552, (known as the Klamath Act). The Klamath Act
authorized that $21,000,000 be appropriated for the program,
and it established the Klamath
River Basin Fisheries Task Force and the Klamath
Fishery Management Council. |

Falls Fish and Wildlife Office |
| |
The
Klamath Falls Fish and Wildlife Office's (KFFWO) area of responsibility
is the entire Klamath River watershed, from its headwaters to
the Pacific Ocean. Within the Basin, conservation efforts are
coordinated by staff of the the Fish and Wildlife Service through
the voluntary cooperation and participation of a variety of
agencies, organizations, private landowners, and individuals. |
| Upper
Klamath Basin Groundwater Study |
| |
The
present understanding of the ground-water hydrology in the Klamath
Basin is limited which hinders the quantitative evaluation of
new ground-water uses. This study is intended to characterize
and quantify the ground-water flow system in the basin to address
gaps in the present understanding of the hydrology. The results
of the study should be useful to agencies and water users in
evaluating potential effects of new development on existing
ground-water users. The study should also be useful for identifying
areas where additional ground-water development can occur without
adversely affecting streamflow. |

Klamath Experiment Station |
| |
Scientists
at the Klamath Agricultural Experiment Station specialize in
research on potatoes, cereals, forages, and sugarbeets. Agricultural
lands constitute over 10% of the county's tax base. Agriculture
and related businesses employ over 7% of the work force in a
county with 60,000 residents. Direct income from agriculture
accounts for very significant portion of the Klamath County
economy. |
| National
Academy of Sciences Klamath Review |
| |
The
committee will review the government's biological opinions regarding
the effects of Klamath Project operations on species in the
Klamath River Basin listed under the Endangered Species Act,
including coho salmon and shortnose and Lost River suckers.
The committee will assess whether the biological opinions are
consistent with the available scientific information. It will
consider hydrologic and other environmental parameters (including
water quality and habitat availability) affecting those species
at critical times in their life cycles, the probable consequences
to them of not realizing those environmental parameters, and
the inter-relationship of these environmental conditions necessary
to recover and sustain the listed species.
