Drought
SUNDAY 5/30
“It’s very expensive. Not
many people I know pay for
it,” said Rastovich. As farmers
work to conserve water, the
irrigation districts themselves
are also at risk of running out
of their annual allotment of
water. Last year, Arnold Irri-
gation District was forced to
shut off its water to customers
in mid-August due to the low
flows.
Last month, commission-
ers from Jefferson County re-
quested a drought declaration
for their county. Brown has
yet to confirm the drought
status.
The dry ground and ex-
posed fields in Jefferson
County have set the stage for
dust storms that blow away
topsoil and make driving haz-
ardous.
“Soil blowing off the land
is more than a hardship for

farmers,” said Gail Snyder,
founder of Coalition for the
Deschutes, a nonprofit that
brings together conservation-
ists, farmers and others to
protect the Deschutes River.
“It is a bad situation for all
of us. The dust bowl of the
1930s was not an aberration
that will never happen again.”
Phil Chang, one of three
county commissioners, said
in an email that he plans to
vote to request the governor
declare a drought.
“I do think a drought dec-
laration is warranted,” said
Chang.
Deschutes County is in the
midst of its driest March to
April period on record, span-
ning 127 years, he added. The
past two years have been the
second-driest two-year stretch
during that time. The only
drier period occurred in 1932,
during the Dust Bowl era.
