' ; .i : Tribe, feds, state prepared to sign water rights settlement agreement Looking to the future and cor rectly predicting events, needs and community growth is nearly impos sible. It is only with years of study and investigation that experts can make accurate "guesstimates". So it is with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the US Government and the State of Oregon. September 16, 1996, with the signing of the Water Rights Settlement Agreement, will mark the final chapter in years of study and deliberations by all three parties. The signing is expected to occur at Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge at 9 a.m. The agreement defines and guar antees the Treaty water right for the Warm Springs Reservation so that water rights will always be available to the Tribes and its members. Or egon law authorized the Water Re sources Director to negotiate with the Tribe and the US Government to define the Tribes' water rights. The law also allows the State to enter into cooperative agreements with Indian Tribes on such things as waterrights. The Agreement is in the best interest of everyone, including the public and the three parties, to define the water rights. Additionally, the Department of the Interior's policy is to resolve water rights claims between Indian Tribes, states and federal agencies. All three parties want to cooperate for the long term protection of the Deschutes River Basin's stream flows, aquatic ecosystem and fisheries. The eco system is defined as the entire com munity of rivers, streams, lakes and other bodies of water and their physi cal environment including water quality and quantity, fish popula tion, other aquatic life, stream beds and riparian vegetation. Addition ally, the Tribes have a long history of protecting river flows on the Reser vation to preserve and improve fish eries. The maintenance and protec tion of fish stocks in the entire Deschutes Basin is one of the Tribes' most important objectives. Also, the Tribes desire to provide a supporting homeland forever and to have flexibility in the use of their water.
