North Unit Irrigation District Special Board Meeting

The board discussed water management challenges resulting from drought conditions and significant snowpack deficiency in the watershed. Projections indicate a potential water deficit in the Wickiup Reservoir, which could require reduced water allotments to satisfy flow requirements mandated by the Habitat Conservation Plan. The board evaluated the option of releasing additional water from the Crane Prairie Reservoir to address this storage deficit, noting the need for close coordination with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and neighboring irrigation districts.
