Foes Attack Water Plan For Klamath Basin Farmers

Laptop Battery A federal proposal to provide farmers in the parched Klamath Basin nearly a full ration of irrigation water came under attack Wednesday from environmentalists and other foes who say it could cause a reprise of last year's major fish kill on the Klamath River.

The fight in the Klamath Basin, a fertile mix of farms and wildlife refuges straddling the border of Oregon and California, erupted in earnest during last year's drought. In April, federal regulators announced steep irrigation cuts, diverting water to help two rare suckerfish species in Upper Klamath Lake and the threatened coho salmon downstream. In a tense, long showdown, rights advocates rushed into Klamath to support farmers in the basin, which suffered a $ million economic loss.

Thinkpad The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation plan would provide farmers in the basin straddling the Oregon-California border about 75% of the water they would expect in a normal rainfall year, federal officials said.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft Farmers said the plan strikes a balance between the environment and agricultural needs in what federal officials have labeled a dry year.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Laptop Computer The renewed jousting came as Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Eureka) prepared to reintroduce legislation today that would provide $200 million for water conservation in the Klamath Basin. Thompson's bill would also provide $20 million to communities and Native American tribes along the Klamath River hit by last September's fish kill, which left 33,000 salmon dead.

Notebooks "It's going to be another dog pile on the farmers this week by the environmental community," said Dan Keppen, executive director of the Klamath Water Users Assn., which represents irrigators in the basin.

Lenovo Keppen said the environmental coalition has undertaken a calculated campaign to shift public opinion against Klamath farmers in anticipation of an April 29 hearing in U.S. District Court over a lawsuit intended to shift water from farmers to the fish and wildlife refuges.

Hard Drive Jeff McCracken, a Bureau of Reclamation spokesman, said the agency was walking a fine line between the needs of the environment and agriculture. In a normal year, Klamath farmers would get about 400,000 acre-feet of water, but this year they will receive 300,000 if the summer doesn't turn too hot, drying out the basin even more.

Travelstar "This is about as balanced as we're able to do," McCracken said. "It's going to be a tightrope walk this year."

Gateway Environmentalists, however, said flow levels down the Klamath River will be below what is needed in the spring by juvenile salmon.

Software In Upper Klamath Lake, the water level would drop low enough to expose wetlands that serve as a refuge for threatened suckerfish, they said.

Hard Drives In addition, the federal plan calls for the region's half a dozen wildlife refuges to get 22,000 acre-feet of water, less than a third of the 70,000 acre-feet environmentalists believe is needed. That could harm the area's huge winter population of bald eagles and other rare birds.

Electronics "It's a disaster in the making that they've tried to mitigate with a few band-aids," said Glen Spain of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Assns.
