Klamath Water Users Association – CELEBRATING 70 YEARS REPRESENTING FARMERS AND RANCHERS OF THE KLAMATH PROJECT

Klamath Falls, OR – The Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA) and its members express the deep disappointment and frustration with federal water management, which has allowed staggering losses of waterfowl in the Klamath Basin Refuge Complex.

The latest reports from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists are of an estimated 100,000 waterfowl have died from avian botulism so far this year in the Klamath Basin Refuge Complex.
