The Klamath Project Drought Resilience Agency is set to receive $33 million to fund projects that address ongoing water shortages. A news release from the Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA) said the funds were agreed upon in a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the DRA and the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. “We are resolute in our commitment to improve our water supply situation, and we are optimistic that can occur,” said Tracey Liskey, KWUA president, in the release. Liskey said the water users and DRA will continue to do everything in their power to “provide security for producers” and the community.
