Project Summary

Water management in the Klamath Basin is one of the most challenging natural resource issues in the country.  The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) will work with local partners to deliver financial assistance to producers who will implement critical water conservation projects, while coordinating with agency partners to monitor and account for in-stream flow improvements. Activities may include: source water conversion, conveyance, monitoring, and soil moisture sensing to build drought resilience among agricultural producers during a time of extreme drought and crisis in the Klamath Basin.
