The effects are far-reaching for tribes, ranchers, farmers, waterfowl advocates, and people who rely on residential wells.

The agency, tasked with delivering water to farms, indicated that it will likely be unable to fully meet Endangered Species Act requirements for ailing fish populations in the Klamath River Basin this spring and summer.

While many used groundwater wells to make up at least some of the loss, the limits of that resource became clear.

Part of the reason: more farmers and ranchers are pumping water from underground than any other year, because they didn’t get any irrigation water from a nearby lake.

Who gets that water hinges, in large part, on two types of fish that live only there.

Cliff Bentz visited Klamath Falls Thursday, he brought promises of government aid for farmers who won't be getting irrigation water from the federal Klamath Project this season. And he urged irrigators to resist the temptation to take matters into their own hands.
