TID

TID monthly meetings, the 2nd Monday of each month, usually 8pm at TID office. In 2001, when the Bureau of Reclamation shut off irrigation water to 1400 Klamath Basin Irrigators, California granted TID money for emergency wells to be used to keep crops and/or cover crops alive. By 2005, the National Marine Fishery Service's Biological Opinion demands over 100,000 acre feet of water from irrigators to be used to raise the lake levels and river flows, contrary to the recommendations of the National Academy of Science. They take stored irrigation water and groundwater. Following are:

TID well update. 16,236.25 have been extorted from our aquifer to water our crops since we had a wet spring, and the BOR sent 30,000 more acre feet of water down the river above and beyond the obligation to the 2003 operation plan.  This is in addition to DOI's mandatory downsizing (water bank),  and to the irrigators who have pumped their private wells, with no reimbursement, to keep the rest of the project irrigated. 9/7/03 And according to Earl Donosky, manager of TID, "All wells are shut down.  We have no plans to start pumping at this time."
