Upper Klamath Basin Water Supply Alignment is run by Department of the Interior. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $69.3 million in 8 grants, about $8.7 million per award.

## Objectives

To plan, implement, and administer programs to align water supplies and demand for irrigation water users associated with the Klamath Project, with a primary emphasis on programs developed or endorsed by local entities comprised of representatives of those water users.
Activities are subject to appropriations and required environmental reviews. Expenditures may not exceed $10 million on an average annual basis, and programs may not:
(A) foster groundwater use that results in groundwater level declines that, based on existing data from the United States Geological Survey, are more than appropriate in a critically dry year, taking into consideration the long-term sustainability of aquifers;
(B) adversely affect compliance with applicable laws protecting fishery resources in Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River.
