Facts About the Crisis in the Klamath Basin
WaterWatch of Oregon
http://www.waterwatch.orgThe crisis in the Klamath River Basin has become ground zero in the national debate over water and endangered species. But this conflict didn't occur overnight--it has been a century in the making. At its root is one of the thorniest environmental problems facing the western states today: how to restore balance to a river basin where too much water has been promised to too many interests. A representative of the river conservation group WaterWatch of Oregon will explore the root causes of the environmental crisis in the Klamath Basin, its current status, and efforts to solve the situation. It will also examine the plight of the Klamath communities that don't make newspaper headlines--the Native American, commercial, and recreational fishing communities that depend on the region's fish and wildlife. Need: three week notice to schedule. Available in Portland, Eugene, Corvallis and Bend.
