Klamath Water Users Association

The Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA) is a non-profit corporation that has represented Klamath Irrigation Project farmers and ranchers in its current form since 1953, but its roots stretch back to 1905. KWUA members include rural and suburban irrigation districts and other public agencies as well as private individuals who operate on both sides of the California-Oregon border. The area represented by KWUA members is home to over 1200 family farms and ranches and encompasses over 170,000 of some of the best farm land in the West. The mission of the organization is to preserve, protect and defend the water and power rights of the landowners of the Klamath Basin while promoting wise management of ecosystem resources. The Klamath Water Users Association is governed by an 11 member board of directors who are representatives from Klamath Project districts.
