• The appropriate water duty for the district with implementation of cost 

 effective conservation measures 



Resolution of these and other issues will impact selection and implementation 

 of a solution to the fish passage problems at Savage Rapids Dam. 

 The implementation of measures to meet the Grants Pass Irrigation District's 

 water supply needs and resolve fish passage problems also have impacts that 

 extend beyond the district's service area. Where appropriate. Reclamation 

 input into the ongoing development of Josephine County's Master Water Plan is 

 being provided as a part of the overall study activities. 



Current Status 



Ongoing. Planning study is scheduled for completion during fiscal year 

 1994.

Oregon Subbasin Conservation Planning 

 Background 



Reclamation is cooperating with the State of Oregon to participate in a 

 facilitating role to develop model subbasin irrigation conservation plans to 

 bring irrigation and environmental interests together. This effort will 

 permit Reclamation, especially where Reclamation projects are involved, to be 

 a positive influence in resource management through optimization of existing 

 water supplies to meet expanded water demands and achieve environmental 

 enhancement. This study was initiated in FY 1993. 



Current Status 



A memorandum of agreement has been established between Reclamation and 

 the Oregon Water Resources Congress (OWRC) to assist in program 

 development for agricultural water management planning by irrigation 

 districts in Oregon. $35,000 have been provided to OWRC to aid in the 

 development of pilot water management plans, preparation of a water 

 management planning guidebook, and development of water management 

 rulemaking proposals.

Oregon Stream Restoration Planning 



Background 



Reclamation is cooperating with the State of Oregon to participate in a 

 facilitating role with other Federal and State agencies and local groups in a 

 broadbased effort to identify and evaluate measures to achieve stream 

 restoration. The basin assessment will involve the total water resources and 

 related land resources of a subbasin and will include headwater management 

 riparian restoration, lease/purchase of water, and conjunctive use of surface
