Raising the Deschutes: Challenges and Solutions for Our Rivers

Seminar Description:

The rivers of the Deschutes Basin are unique and essential resources for our region, providing critical habitat for fish and wildlife, irrigation for agriculture, and recreational opportunities for our communities. However, they face significant challenges, including low seasonal streamflows and water quality concerns. Join the Deschutes River Conservancy’s (DRC) team of water experts to explore what makes the Deschutes Basin special, the challenges impacting our rivers, and the transformative work being done to restore streamflows, enhance water quality, and build a sustainable water future. Discover how the DRC's collaborative approach with diverse partners is creating healthier rivers today and for future generations.
