TULELAKE, CA - MAY 18: Moisture evaporates from a field after fresh rainfall on a farm in the Klamath Basin outside Tulelake, Calif., on Monday, May 18, 2020. Nowhere has California's dry winter hit harder than the state's far north, where hundreds of farmers along the Oregon border now risk having their irrigation water shut off and their crops destroyed. The Klamath Project, which ships water from the High Cascades to more than 200,000 acres of onions, potatoes, wheat and barley across two states, is running low. Water districts supplied by the project say there may not be water for farms after next month. The last time the water agencies of the Klamath Basin warned of such a dire situation, farmers marched on the gates of the project in protest and U.S. marshals were called in to keep the peace. Today, the prospect of running out of water comes as the farm-dependent region faces the additional economic blow of the coronavirus pandemic.
