While I do not live in the Klamath River basin, I have followed ths closely. According to The Asociated Press, The Seattel P.I., National Public Radio and other reputable sources the feds kept the flow at very low levels while allowing farmers unlimited water.

This came about because of a plan developed by the Interior Dept to save endangered coho and suckers. At the time the plan was developed lcoal tribes and fish advocates warned that keeping the flows so low might endanger chinook. The Feds gambled that they could keep the resoviour full AND allow farmers all the water they wanted. I didn't work.

What we do know is that thousands of chinook were killed along with many steelhead and coho. That's a fact!
