DESCRIPTION

Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Kittitas Reclamation District (KRD) are partnering to complete a water conservation project to supplement stream flows and provide meaningful water for fish passage and habitat in critical Upper Yakima River tributaries. This project will utilize existing water conveyance infrastructure for a non-traditional solution to keep streams alive and provide fish benefits. KRD is in the process of implementing System Wide Water Conservation practices in areas of its water distribution system with significant seepage (aka – conveyance loss).

This project will provide funding toward the conservation practices to conserve water for use as streamflow in flow-limited reaches of ESA-threatened Steelhead Critical Habitat. A unique feature of this project is simple and easy scalability which allows conservation measure implementation based on the amount of funding received annually. WWP anticipates a cost/acre-foot of water conserved for streamflows at approx. $5,225/acre-foo
