Big Problems With The Deschutes

The Rapid Decline of the Lower Deschutes River from Deschutes River Alliance on Vimeo.


The Lower Deschutes is facing some serious problems

Elevated summer temps, algae, loss of bug life, dirty water and much more all caused by the change in how the river is supplied with water from the Pelton Dam selective water withdrawal tower

Looks like the experiment is failing.
