Project 2024-006-00 - Water Rights Acquisition and Conservation Management

General

Project Number:
2024-006-00
Title:
Water Rights Acquisition and Conservation Management
Summary:
Areas within the Tribe's ancestral homelands, as determined by the Indian Claims Commission, suffer from low water flows in rivers and streams which impact fish and wildlife throughout Washington State Water Resources Inventory Areas (WRIAs) 54, 55, 56, 57, & 58. This project will endeavor to acquire water rights to reduce impacts of low water flows on fish and wildlife and seek to develop water conservation management easements and/or other types of agreements that will result in improved river and stream flow restoration.
. Projected Benefits: Improvement of flows in summer and early fall for increased juvenile to adult survival of rainbow trout, improved spawning habitat availability for kokanee, and improved survival of native redband rainbow trout.
