Our Klamath Basin Water Crisis

Dear Mr. Reck

Bureau of Reclamation

Shasta Lake, CA

Fall releases of Trinity R. water at levels greater than pre-Trinity Dam years, is too risky for a fish kill. It encourages the Salmon to swim upstream before the rest of the Klamath R. is cool enough. If the fish all went up the Trinity, it might be fine, but you know they won’t. Let the fish wait until the Klamath cools down with the fall air temperatures. The Chinook will be much safer that way, and it is what nature would direct if the Bureau didn’t dump cold water from the Dam.

Best wishes,

Don Meamber
