The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has established an operations plan for the Klamath Basin in which project water users will get an estimated 310,000 acre-feet of water for the 2012 season.
That's more than 75 percent of the estimated demand of 400,000 acre-feet, noted Greg Addington of the Klamath Water Users Association in our conversation this morning.
Conditions have improved dramatically with persistent rain and snow in the past three weeks, he said. Before that, the situation was looking "dire", he said.
