Odessa Subarea Special Study |
|||
 |
|||
| Background | The Odessa Subarea Special Study will investigate the possibility of continuing development of the Columbia Basin Project to deliver project water to lands currently using groundwater in the Odessa Subarea. The aquifer is declining to such an extent that the ability of farmers to irrigate their crops is at risk and domestic, commercial, municipal, and industrial uses and water quality are also affected. In response to the public's concern about the declining aquifer and associated economic and other effects, Congress has provided funding to Reclamation to investigate the problem. The State of Washington has agreed to partner with Reclamation, providing funding and collaborating on various technical studies. more>> |
