West Umatilla project praised as one of the best in the nation
The report by the Army Engineers backs the West Umatilla irrigation effort in Eastern Oregon as feasible economical and worth a $4 million allotment to irrigate about 60 000 acres. The board notes strong support from Hermiston locals and outlines a plan including a 145 000 acre foot reservoir and gravity plus pumping options. It cites ample water supply projected through 22 years of records and details costs and extensions while warning that full funding may be deferred to other high priority works.
