SRP Project

Joseph Creek Irrigation Efficiency and Riparian Restoration (WDFW Land)

Organization	Snake River Salmon Recovery Board Lead Entity
Sponsor	Asotin County Conservation District
Status	Planned
Schedule	Start Date: 1/19/2016 End Date: 12/31/2025

DESCRIPTION

The Washington portion of Joseph Creek is classified as a priority protection reach, which experiences high water temperature low flow for salmonids. This project would work on WDFW properties to improve irrigation efficiencies trusting saved water to in-stream flow for improving habitat conditions. As a second objective will be to use the existing WDFW water right to water new riparian plantings.
