SALEM, Ore. — A century-old fight over water from Oregon’s Klamath Basin ended Thursday with signed agreements that assure farmers water and power to keep their crops green and lay out the removal of dams that have blocked salmon from hundreds of miles of spawning grounds.
One agreement lays out a road map for removing four hydroelectric dams from the Klamath River in southern Oregon and northern California. The other details how to share water between fish and farms and restore the ecological balance of the basin. Water will be shut off to farms in extreme drought.
