The Deschutes Basin Board of Control comprises eight irrigation districts: Arnold,Central Oregon, Lone Pine, North Unit, Ochoco, Swalley, Three Sisters, and Tumalo. Together these districts supply water to over 7,600 farms and ranches, as well as local cities, parks, and schools. Through extensive conservation efforts, including canal piping, infrastructure modernization, and efficiency improvements, the districts are working to increase water reliability and drought resilience while enhancing stream flows. As part of the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan, they are implementing a 30-year strategy to modernize water delivery systems, improve efficiency, and conserve significant water resources to support fish and wildlife protected under the Endangered Species Act.
