The rocky riverbed is home to the endangered slender-horned spineflower and was recently designated critical habitat for the Santa Ana sucker fish. This meant, said the BOR, that Upper Klamath Lake must be kept at historic high levels for the sucker fish and that more water had to be released into the Klamath River for the coho--ergo, water for the fishies, not for the farmers. Citing concerns over endangered coho salmon in the Klamath River and endangered sucker fish in Upper Klamath Lake, the bureau had warned early this year that as many as 90 percent of water-rights holders might not receive any water whatsoever in the summer. |
