| Klamath Basin Adjudication |
|
The Klamath Basin Adjudication is the legal process whereby water rights which vested before adoption of Oregon's water code in 1909 are quantified and documented through an adjudication proceeding in the Klamath County Circuit Court. The Department administers the initial phases of the Adjudication, including receipt of claims and contests, conduct of contested cases and preparation of the Adjudication findings of fact and order of determination of rights. The Circuit Court is then responsible for resolution of exceptions and issuance of the water right decree.
