Who Is StopWaterWars.org?

We are a group of concerned citizens, parents, business owners and other community interests who are trying to find a solution to the ongoing “Water Wars” of the Klamath Basin.

We have witnessed the water shut-offs of the past and what they have done to our communities. From small businesses going under to families breaking apart, ongoing litigation over has hurt everyone that calls the Klamath Basin home. These court battles do nothing but keep lawyers busy and endanger ALL communities in the Basin.

We are seeking new solutions to the old problems that continue to affect agriculture, which provides 1-in-4 jobs in Klamath County alone. The total contribution to Klamath County family ranches and farms combined with Tulelake-area agriculture is nearly $800,000,000. The end of irrigated agriculture will drastically change the Klamath Basin as we know it.

Why July 20th Matters to Everyone in The Klamath Basin

On July 20th, life in the Klamath Basin for families, local businesses, wildlife and our communities could change forever. Litigation seeking a preliminary injunction to stop all Klamath Project irrigation diversions immediately and hold the water in Upper Klamath Lake has been filed. If successful, this lawsuit would affect Klamath agriculture, fish and wildlife (including severe impacts to Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge), the Klamath River, the Klamath Basin economony, local businesses, and the social fabric of the region.

Our short-term goal is to increase awareness in our community regarding these impacts. Although community members cannot affect the outcome of this litigation, we hope to use this dire situation to form a coalition of diverse business and social interests in the Klamath Basin to demand long term, permanent solutions to water issues affecting our community.

How Can You Help?

Our community needs to realize this doesn’t only affect Klamath Basin family farms and ranches, but communities in Klamath, Siskiyou and Modoc Counties and throughout the Klamath River watershed.
