Hi All
This is a much more complex and complicated situation than sound bite from Fox News can cover. There has been a working group representing all the players in the upper basin in a consensus project for years that was almost derailed by the Judges ruling in April. There are many broken treaties with the Klamath tribes and the homesteaders from WWI and WW II were given permanent deeds to water by the Bureau - another "treaty" broken if you will - not to mention the multiple wildlife refuges, several of which were established between the tribes treaties and the homesteader deeds. The Basin is home to some of the best farmers and ranchers around using some of the most creative and conserving practices around - none of which can make up for the total mess made by political entities fighting for turf. Unless you live in California or Oregon and have spent time in the Basin with the parties involved, it's difficult to have a grasp on exactly how labrinthine it all is.
