Notes from the Field: Wickiup Reservoir

It was a great day in the field observing the importance of restoring flows in the Upper Deschutes with DRC staff and our partner at the US Forest Service. Observing the current conditions and the impacts of more than 70 years of modified river flows reinforces the importance of restoring flows in the Upper Deschutes.

Collaborative approaches and partnership building, like the Deschutes Basin Water Collaborative and the Deschutes Partnership, are critical to improving flows, restoring river function and stability, and improving habitat in the Upper Deschutes.
