Klamath River (Klamath River Basin)

The Klamath River, located in Northern California and southern Oregon, flows through a vital ecological region known as the Klamath River Basin. It supports diverse wildlife, including fish like salmon and steelhead, and provides water for agriculture, industry, and communities. The basin faces challenges from drought, water management conflicts, and environmental concerns, impacting fish populations and regional ecosystems. Efforts are underway to balance ecological health with human needs, including habitat restoration and sustainable water use, ensuring the river continues to sustain both natural and human communities.
