Thunderegg Capital NUMBER XVIII STATE WATER RESOURCES BOARD PRESENTS FINDINGS FOR MALHEUR & OWYHEE A summary of findings on the Malheur and Owyhee Basins investigation was presented by Fred D. Gustafson, Chief En gineer, and Jack G. Johnson, Planning Director, State Water Resources Board, at a public meeting on April 15, 9:00 a.m., at me East Side Cafe in Ontario. The findings and conclusions of this investigation will serve as a basis for establishing water policy over the unappropriated waters of the basins. This will be binding on all state agencies and public corporations but will not interfere with existing water rights. The Malheur and Owyhee Basins include the entire Mal heur River, Oregon portions of the Owyhee River, small Snake River tributaries and small interior drainages of Mal heur, Harney, Grant and Baker Counties. The basins investigation was conducted to study existing water resources of the basins, to determine means and methods of conserving and augmenting such resources, and to determine existing andcontem- plated needs of water for do mestic, livestock, municipal, irrigation, power development, industrial, mining, recreation, fish life, wildlife, and pollution abatement purposes. Particular emphasis was placed on determining the lo cation and amount of land, and related water requirements, that could be developed utilizing Snake River water. Included was development of the recon naissance irrigation plan for those lands, designated the Mal heur Project, considered to have the greatest potential for deve lopment in the near future. The presentation summary, with graphics, included discus sions of general physical data, the economic base of the area, the relationship between avail- able and presently appropriated water, present use and asso ciated problems for the 10 bene ficial uses listed above, and problems associated with flood ing, drainage, future needs and potential developments. Findings and conclusions brought out at the presentation included the following. The Malheur and Owyhee Basins, comprisingthe Malheur and Owyhee River study area, encompass 11,247 square miles or 7, 198,400 acres which is 11.6 percent of the state’s area. The basins’ average annual yield of slightly over 1,000,000 acre-feet from streams ground water presently supplies water to irrigate 273,900 acres and serves all other consump tive uses. About one-half of the annual yeild is lost to outflow either as ground water or as widely dispersed surface water return flows, primarily to the Snake River with some to inte rior drainages in Nevada. The basins’ total yield is adequate, on an average-year basis, to supply most existing needs and uses of water but serious shortages exist each year in most areas of variations in seasonal and geographical yield. There are sufficient surface water resources, if available Snake River water is included, to more than double the presently irrigated acreage by (Continued On Page 8) The Budget Hearing prior to adoption of the budget for Nyssa School District No. 26 will be held Tues day, May 5 at 8 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the Primary Building. Interested persons are invited to attend and dis cuss the proposed budget.

The students earning this honor are selected from all high schools in Oregon on the basis of their outstanding academic achievement, it was explained by Sidney Schlesinger, chairman of the commission.

During the first month aides visited with nearly 90 families in the Nyssa area. Me xican-American homemakers in the Nyssa area who would like to have an aide visit may call 372-3774.
