The Water Education Foundation’s second edition of the Layperson’s Guide to The Klamath River Basin is hot off the press and available for purchase.

Updated and redesigned, the easy-to-read overview covers the history of the region’s tribal, agricultural and environmental relationships with one of the West’s largest rivers — and a vast watershed that hosts one of the nation’s oldest and largest reclamation projects.

Learn how dramatic water shortages and massive salmon die-offs led to a landmark agreement to remove four obsolete hydropower dams blocking salmon passage to hundreds of miles of spawning habitat straddling California and Oregon.
