Early forecasts in the Pacific Northwest are already signaling reduced irrigation supply, with some junior water rights expected to receive less than full allocation.
While the latest outlook focuses on the Yakima Basin, similar conditions could develop across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho as snowpack and winter moisture determine irrigation availability.
