Rivers Need Water! Preserving and Restoring Oregon's Rivers and Streams
WaterWatch of Oregon
http://www.waterwatch.orgThe water flowing in our rivers and streams is one of Oregon’s most precious natural resources. It supports fish and wildlife, offers outstanding whitewater and fly-fishing opportunities, and provides much of Oregon’s scenic beauty. But every day billions of gallons of water are drained from our rivers and streams for irrigation and other uses. The results are often devastating: not enough water for endangered salmon, for fishing and boating, to dilute pollution. A representative of the river conservation group WaterWatch of Oregon explains how this public resource is managed, why flows are important for fish and recreation, and what you can do to help. Need: three week notice to schedule. Available in Portland, Eugene, Corvallis and Bend.
