...The study, partially funded by Klamath County, shows that the region's farms and ranches, worth over $368 million annually and employing over 3,000 people, are in jeopardy. The study highlights that this is due to water restrictions, which have already led to a loss of $12 million in income, with more at risk if restrictions continue.

Not a good time to be a fish in Oregon. If the anglers, eagles, bears, or nets don’t get you, the leftist enviro-wacko’s and the feds will.

Couldn’t dredge for gold though I had a valid claim because it might harm salmon. Then they enabled seventeen million cubic yards. Thats enough to cover I5 including shoulders from Oregon to Mexico. RIP Klamath River.

The sad part is that this type of chaotic failure of policy and regulations destroying the world, bit by bit, has been a central theme in the history of Marxism and Socialism.

But hey, government only rewards failure with more spending and more regulation. Failure becomes the new normal for the self feeding beasts in government. The bigger the failure the better.

but USBR currently limits diversions to no more than 350,000 acre-feet regardless of how much water is physically available.

Desert cultures dug deep pits and filled them with water during the wet season. I have often wondered why that isn’t done here. Part of the reason is that because of the water projects from the 1930’s water has always been cheap, when it was available. Technology for doing this is much better today than at any time in history. The pits can be dug when the job market is bad and therefore the labor is available cheaper. They can be filled by directing rainwater into them during the wet seasons. They can be dug to the volume needed so that they’ll last the dry period. This would take decades of planning if you wanted to do it on the cheap. Governments don’t plan past the current budget.

Probably a lot of water “conservation” laws, rules and regulations will need to be changed as quite often it is illegal to collect rainwater. We desperately need a government that will reestablish government’s role in helping create jobs and the environment for private business to flourish, as opposed to the opposite of that we have now. Virtually every problem we have would be helped by having less government, regulation and taxing.

Incidentally, the reason the British conquered the world was the British government saw it as their role to create the environment where business could flourish. It wasn’t until Churchill lost the election at the end of the war that Brittain turned into a socialist hellhole. (As an aside, the British laid the first transatlantic cables connecting the continents together. They secretly monitored non-British communications and provided the intelligence to their private industry so that if a shipment of wheat was needed at city X a British ship could provide it before the American ship arrived, thus getting the bulk of the profit. France is doing something similar today.)

Oregon has plenty of water. Democrats are destroying the entire state. Including the areas democrats inhabit which is very small in comparison to the large area the rest of us reside. Oregonians need to oust ever damn democrat in the state.

I notice most politicians don't even bother to identify their party in their adds. That along with 100% mail in ballots make it difficult if not impossible to effect any change.
