Water shortage 

How much water do we need?  

Klamath Falls Herald and News
March 4, 2010
 
   Kevin Moore, spokesman for the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Klamath Falls office, said about 77,000 acre feet of water is needed to get Upper Klamath Lake to a level to meet total demand.
 
   He said there are too many factors, including temperature, precipitation and river flows, to accurately say how much snow or ra i n would be needed to get the lake back to even.
    

   Greg Addington, executive director of Klamath Water Users Association, thinks it’s impossible to get enough snow and rain to provide for full delivery to irrigators, but said a few late spring storms could make the irrigation season tolerable.

 

   On average, the lower half of Klamath County receives about 1.5 to 2 inches of precipitation in March with another inch falling in April, near the beginning of irrigation season.
