Although we have always had plenty of water, southern Oregon is also going through a drought and I am worried. you can see our Douglas fir evergreen trees are showing more and more signs of brown on their needles.
An average of 265,000 cu ft/s of fresh water flows into the Pacific Ocean from the Columbia River. An aqueduct to divert a small portion to southern Oregon would resolve the drought problem in southern Oregon. An aqueduct to California would make some revenue for Oregon.
