Description

Abstract: This concept paper attempts to describe a groundwater conservation action plan to reverse the overdraft of groundwater in the Mosier Valley, allowing for sustainable use of the resource, and conservation of all natural resource values in the Mosier Valley, including homeownership, agriculture, stream flows, and fish and wildlife habitat.

Purpose: The Mosier Watershed Assessment was completed in 2002, and brought to light only one high priority resource concern: falling groundwater levels throughout the Lower Mosier Valley. On March 13th 2003, Ken Lite, a hydrogeologist with Oregon Water Resources Department, informed the Council on current knowledge regarding groundwater in the Lower Mosier Valley. The Council concluded that groundwater levels continue to fall, and that this issue should be addressed as an urgent priority.
