Legislating The Klamath Basin

US Fish & Wildlife

The people who use water from the Klamath Basin can come together and reach an agreement; many of them did.

Oregon and California senators recently introduced legislation to codify the recent Upper Klamath Basin Comprehensive Agreement. 

It gets a hearing in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday.

Karuk Tribe Klamath Coordinator Craig Tucker talks about the details and the wait for Congress to act.
