Water Resource Inventory Area 29 (WRIA 29) was intended to establish rules for management of the White Salmon and Little White Salmon river watersheds. Members representing the Little White Salmon came to an agreement while those from the big White Salmon did not. Wil Keyser, former White Salmon Public Works Director called the WRIA 29 a ‘disaster and a disgrace.’
UPDATE: The process is about to begin again for the big White Salmon River. Their success is critical to allocation of water rights by the Department of Ecology and, therefore, to resolution of water shortages in White Salmon and adjacent areas.
