From the Native Fish Society:
This past week there was a substantial dewatering on the Upper Deschutes, which in turn led to a large fish kill as flows dropped from 1,200cfs to 32cfs in 30 days. Native Fish Society would encourage you to share this story, and bring to light the fact that while terrible, the water mismanagement is this case was actually legal. Despite the number of wild fish dead and years of habitat restoration undone, the unfortunate reality is that over-appropriated water is common throughout Oregon.
Please read the article and share to put public pressure on the Oregon Water Resources Department to consider the implications that over allocating water has on our wild, native fish.
