WASHINGTON, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, along with Congressman Cliff Bentz, today announced that $10 million in additional federal funding is headed to the Klamath Basin to help with drought relief and resiliency.<\/span><\/p>\n

This funding from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation adds to the <\/span>$33 million that the lawmakers secured earlier this year<\/span><\/a> for water users—including irrigators, Klamath Tribes, and wetlands—in the Klamath Basin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“This has been an extremely difficult water year, and every bit of assistance helps,” said Merkley, who has used his position as Chair of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee to ensure increased funding for drought relief and habitat restoration efforts in the Klamath Basin.<\/b> “As this historic drought continues, I will continue to fight for the Klamath Basin’s needs at the federal level, and will continue to work collaboratively with local leaders, state partners, and Tribes to implement a long-term strategy to tackle this crisis.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“This $10 million in additional federal aid for the Klamath Basin is welcome news after another challenging year extended the long drought slamming farmers and the Klamath Tribes,” wyden dijo<\/b>. “I’m glad to have worked on a bipartisan basis to secure these resources, on top of the funds from earlier this year. It’s that same teamwork that I’m using to keep working on the short-term and long-term assistance the Klamath Basin needs to weather this crisis.”<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

“Although this money does not replace water needed for the community, farmers, fish and tribes, it certainly is welcome,” Bentz said<\/b>. \u201c<\/span>I join the people of the Klamath Basin in thanking our Senators for their efforts in obtaining this $10 million grant.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“A shortage of irrigation water next year could mean the end for a lot of farm families who have done nothing wrong. We are very grateful to Senators Merkley and Wyden for pushing for this funding; we can plan for the worst case even as we work to let farmers farm,” dijo Paul Simmons, Director Ejecutivo de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Usuarios de Agua de Klamath.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As Chairman of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, Merkley was able to secure $162 million to support habitat restoration and fish recovery efforts in the Klamath Basin over the next five years in the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Merkley also secured $500 million for the Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations program, which will support irrigation modernization in the Klamath Basin and across the West.  <\/span> <\/p>\n

Los fondos de ayuda siguen una larga historia de apoyo a la cuenca de Klamath durante los a\u00f1os de sequ\u00eda que se est\u00e1n volviendo cada vez m\u00e1s comunes: <\/span>Merkley, con Wyden y el excongresista Greg Walden<\/span><\/a>, fixed language in legislation to allow irrigators to access $10 million in drought relief; Using his position on the Senate Appropriations Committee and now as Chairman of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee, Merkley have helped fund programs to <\/span>apoyar proyectos locales de calidad del agua<\/span><\/a> que sali\u00f3 de la primera de Merkley <\/span>Cumbre de recuperaci\u00f3n de tontos<\/span><\/a>. So far,<\/span> $33 million <\/span>ha apoyado proyectos de restauraci\u00f3n<\/span><\/a> by Klamath Tribes and farmers and ranchers in the Basin as a result of Senator Merkley’s efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n
