I am so glad I do not have to rely on a government entity to provide water for me. My family made a conscious decision 20 years ago to be more self sustaining, moved out of the city bought big land and have our own springs for drinking and showers and ponds for watering the orchard and garden.

Although we have always had plenty of water, southern Oregon is also going through a drought and I am worried. you can see our Douglas fir evergreen trees are showing more and more signs of brown on their needles.

An average of 265,000 cu ft/s of fresh water flows into the Pacific Ocean from the Columbia River. An aqueduct to divert a small portion to southern Oregon would resolve the drought problem in southern Oregon. An aqueduct to California would make some revenue for Oregon.
