Well water is flowing into the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge thanks to two generous donations from CWA supporters that will pay pumping costs from a well for one month. While the well's capacity is limited, this water will help increase floodable acres in Unit 2 and help keep botulism from expanding there. It will also help maintain water levels in the unit, which will facilitate efficient movement of future water deliveries. The donors, who ponied up a combined $15,000, asked to remain anonymous, but CWA thanks them!

Well water is not enough to solve Lower Klamath's problem, but we're working to get every drop possible to the refuge while we continue to work toward our primary goals: acquiring high-priority water rights for the refuge and securing a comprehensive agreement to distribute water equitably in the Basin.
