Acknowledgments


The authors would like to acknowledge the irrigation community, groundwater users, and resource-management agencies of the upper Klamath Basin for the guidance they provided. Ivan Gall, Kenneth Lite, and Douglas Woodcock (Oregon Water Resources Department) and Seth Lawrence (California Department of Water Resources) all provided valuable insights into regulatory agency perspectives. Valuable data and insights regarding the operation of the Klamath Project were provided by Hollie Cannon (Klamath Water and Power Agency) and Mark Van Camp and Sara Harper (MBK Engineers). We are grateful to Peter Lawson and Justin Lanier (CH2M Hill) for important discussions of groundwater modeling and management in the upper Klamath Basin. We also thank Paul Barlow and Tracy Nishikawa for their helpful technical reviews of this report. This work was funded by the USGS Cooperative Water Program, USGS National Research Program, the Klamath Water and Power Agency, and the Oregon Water Resources Department.
