Once again the Klamath River Basin is in a "water crisis." With not enough water to fulfill all needs and demands, irrigators, federal tribes and fishermen are all clamoring for more water and for "emergency disaster assistance" from the federal government. In the middle are the federal and state agencies charged with meeting competing needs of threatened and endangered fish, water rights law and irrigator demands.
Meanwhile the organization People's Rights has called for irrigators to âSTAND UP AND PROTECT YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY, YOUR WATER!â According to a report from The Counter, "Peopleâs Rights is the far-right militia group founded by Ammon Bundy, known for leading a takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in 2016."
