Salem, OR (Sep. 18, 2021) - On Friday, Sept. 24 at noon on Zoom, the Salem City Club hosts Oregon Drought: Water History of the Klamath Basin.
Oregon, like much of the West, is in a protracted drought. The second Salem City Club program for this year addresses this issue.
Dr. Don Negri will present and discuss a study he completed of management history in the Klamath Basin. The region uniquely combines multiple water-related interests, including fish, hydropower, agriculture, domestic users, and native American tribes. The political stakes and mistakes are all addressed comprehensively and offer valuable insights as we face a water-scarce future.
Dr. Negri received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and was a researcher at the Rand Corporation before joining the Willamette University faculty. He retired this year from the Economics Department at Willamette, where he served for many years as Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts.
