FIVE-YEAR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - DEMAND REDUCTION

The KPDRA is now accepting applications for its Five-Year Program (2026-2030), which is intended to reduce demand for irrigation water by providing financial assistance to eligible agricultural producers who agree to refrain from applying irrigation water to designated parcels during each Program Year. Additional payments are available for the planting of cover crops and certain ecosystem improvement practices on parcels to which no water is applied. The minimum number of acres eligible for enrollment is 50 acres with a minimum parcel size of 25 contiguous acres of irrigable land, with clear boundaries. A parcel can only be designated for the program three of the five years. You can download the application under the "file downloads" subsection of this website. Applications are due June 15th at 5:00 pm. Please review the program policy for more information. If you have any questions, please contact us at (541) 630-0752 or info@klamathwaterbank.com.
