The Klamath Irrigation District is seeking public input on a proposed infrastructure modernization project aimed at improving water delivery efficiency and strengthening drought resilience across the basin. An in-person public meeting is scheduled for April 9 in Merrill, where community members can learn about the proposal, ask questions, and provide feedback on the draft plan.

KWUA says the 2026 Klamath Project Annual Operations Plan sets water management parameters but stops short of confirming irrigation allocations, which are expected by April 1.

The Klamath Water Users Association announced that the Bureau of Reclamation has completed a reassessment of how the Endangered Species Act is applied to the Klamath Project, a move described as a key step toward improving long-term water supply predictability in the Basin.
