The Deschutes River Conservancy is working to restore over 115 cubic feet per second of flow to the Middle Deschutes River in central Oregon. Historically, most of the flow to the middle Deschutes River was diverted near the City of Bend to serve agricultural needs. Project funding allows the Conservancy to negotiate lease agreements with irrigators and keep these flows in the river, fostering a healthy ecosystem for people, plants, and wildlife.
