Valsetz, OR April 17, 2008 2:17 p.m.
You may not be noticing it yet but water supplies in western Oregon are under intense pressure. More and more people continue to move to the region, and both farmers and fish need a steady water supply for their survival.
Last week, we heard about a project that might draw water from the Willamette River, to meet the demand from cities in Yamhill County.
Today, Rob Manning reports on another ambitious plan. This one would build a new dam – at the same place where one was removed 20 years ago.
