December forum
Farmers, frogs, and fish settled their Endangered Species Act case this fall. For now the settlement assures that 100 cubic feet of water will continue to be released from reservoirs into the Upper Deschutes this winter. That’s a 400 percent increase in minimum flows from recent years, though less than fifteen percent of the flows that existed before reservoirs and canals.
Does the settlement represent the end of efforts to restore the Deschutes, or a new beginning? Will further improvements be made from field and flow efficiencies? Who will finance those improvements? Who will reap the rewards? If taxpayers fund the improvements, what will the taxpayer get in return?
Farmers? Fishermen? Frogs? Funders?
For answers to these questions and more, join moderator Tod Heisler and City Club as they explore efforts to stretch Deschutes River flows to meet the diverse needs of farmers, frogs, fish, and funders.
Panelists:
Craig Horrell: Manager, Central Oregon Irrigation District
Gail Snyder: Co-Founder and Board President, Coalition for the Deschutes
