It is through these collaborative efforts that we continue to successfully achieve our mission to restore streamflow and improve water quality in the Deschutes Basin. To date, the DRC has permanently restored more than 180 cubic feet per second (cfs) to our local rivers and streams. That is more than 116 million gallons of water per day! WATER CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT NORTH UNIT IRRIGATION DISTRICT TUMALO CREEK WATER CONSERVATION PROJECT Since the 1960s, North Unit Irrigation District (NUID) has Over the past several years the DRC has been working hard relied on the Crooked River as a source of water. Using water with Tumalo Irrigation District and partners to restore from the Crooked River is costly for NUID farmers because summer flows to Tumalo Creek. As a result of piping open the water must be pumped out of the Crooked River Canyon. irrigation canals, this popular stream that runs from the flanks In some years, NUID farmers pay in excess of $300,000 in of Broken Top, over Tumalo Falls and through Shevlin Park pumping costs.

  • Upper Deschutes River Fish Managementplan
    Upper Deschutes River Fish ManagementPlan Draft May22, 1996 Oregon Department of Fish and Wtldlife Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 1 of 431 Upper Deschutes River Basin Fish Management Plan 1996 COMPLETED DISTRICT DRAFT 04/11/96 6:12:58 PM DESCHUTES RIVER from Wickiup Dam to Bend (North Canal Dam) including the tributaries Fall River and Spring River Overview This portion of the basin plan includes the Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam (RM 227) downstream to Bend (North Canal Dam, RM 164.8), Fall River, and Spring River. The Little Deschutes River, a major tributary which enters at RM 193, is not included because of its' length and connection with other waters in the basin. The Little Deschutes River will be presented in a separate section of the basin plan. In the Habitat and Fish Management sections of the following discussion, the Deschutes River will be divided into two sections; Wickiup Dam to Benham Falls (RM 181), and Benham Falls to Bend (North Canal Dam). The reason for this is based on stream morphology and changes in fish populations. Benham Falls is a high gradient natural cascade which separates the Deschutes River into two logical sections with low gradient above the falls and high gradient below. Similarly, fish population composition changes at Benham Falls with brown trout dominant above and rainbow trout dominant below. The remaining sections; location and ownership, fish stocking history, angling regulations, management issues, summary of alternatives and alternatives will be presented as (1) Deschutes River, and (2) Tributaries. In 1987, the Oregon legislature designated the section of Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam to General Patch Bridge, and from Harper Bridge to the north boundary of the Deschutes National Forest as a State Scenic Waterway.
