Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis
Upholding rural Americans' rights to grow food,
own property, and caretake our wildlife and natural resources. 

Unintended Consequences   Unintended Consequences The government and Klamath Basin farmers have spent  millions of dollars purchasing efficient sprinklers to conserve water. However, Pacific Power, disregarded the fact that their regulated water to create power comes from Klamath Project design and efficiency. They've significantly raised the irrigators' power rates, so many irrigators are forced to return to flood irrigation.  7/3/06 KBC photo   Protecting the tortoises, The Spectrum, "We've found that fences don't work with fire and drought," (KBC Note: The enviros are shocked that, by building fences and creating wilderness areas, the tortoises die in fires that they forbid humans to suppress in 'wild' areas. In Klamath/Siskiyou, the logging industry was decimated by the spotted owl scam, people were forbidden to fight fires in the wilderness areas created to protect the owl, then the fires killed more owls than ever disturbed by timber harvest.)
