Water Year 2027 · began October 1
Water year 2026 closed as the eighth driest in forty-six years.
Reclamation deemed 221,002 acre-feet available to the Klamath Project for the 2026 spring and summer season, against an estimated 390,460 acre-feet of demand — short by 169,460 acre-feet before a single order was placed. K.I.D. changed operations to make that supply last and carried deliveries to the Board’s 15 October 2026 goal.
- 805,415 AFInflow to Upper Klamath Lake — 8th driest of 46 years, the 17th percentile
- 202,543 AFDelivered to Project farms, March through September
- 169,460 AFShort of demand before the season began
- Oct 15K.I.D. deliveries end — plan your last set
K.I.D. ends deliveries on or about October 15. If you have a last set planned, order it now — and call your water off the moment you are done. Unannounced shut-offs damage the system and drive up next year’s assessments. Dewatering and an intensive maintenance season begin immediately after the season closes.
