Time to Take Action
 
Tulelake Irrigation District

 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:
