They're even lower now. A few months ago, the federal gov't cut off a lot of farmers in S. Oregon from water that they use for crops. To save fish. > Amid historic, climate change-driven drought, the federal government in May shut down the water supply from the Upper Klamath Basin on the California-Oregon border to protect native fish species on the verge of extinction. As a result, Hill and other farmers like her in the region have been cut off from water they have used for decades. https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/10/us/klamath-oregon-drought-water-war/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/10/us/klamath-oregon-drought-wat... People go to bed with water and wake up to dry wells. Since the farmers can't use the traditional water source in the area, they are digging their wells deeper and deeper in order to water their crops. Something a lot of regular people can't afford to do, so as the farmers drop the water table searching and searching for that continually drying up water, others are going without. https://www.opb.org/article/2021/07/29/southern-oregon-wells-dry-up-drought/ https://www.opb.org/article/2021/07/29/southern-oregon-wells...
