Water Watch: Working To Preserve Flows for Fish and Wildlife
Rivers Need Water
We welcome Neil Brandt from Water Watch this month. Water Watch of Oregon works hard to preserve flows for fish and wildlife.
Without WaterWatch, many of Oregon’s rivers and streams would run dry. During key dry months in almost every river basin in the state, there are too many water rights and not enough water to go around. Even in the 21st century, it can be legal in Oregon to drain our rivers until they are bone dry.
