Agriculture is water wise.
Irrigated agriculture in the Pacific Northwest has made giant moves forward in water conservation in the last quarter century.
Replacing flood irrigation systems with sprinkler and drip systems on most existing farms and on all new irrigated farms and orchards has revolutionalized these efforts.
With all this modern technology, irrigators are able to farm more land and leave more water in the streams for fish and wildlife.
OWC believes it is possible to save and develop great salmon runs in Oregon’s rivers, AND save and develop irrigated agriculture.
The status of, and the rules regarding, Oregon's important
natural resources are inexorably changing.
Shall those of us who support the beneficial use of those resources be leading participants in that change or remain the protesting, but passive, victims thereof? OWC is only as strong as those who generously and kindly support our mutual efforts.
