Wash., feds to discuss Yakima water

The Bureau of Reclamation says irrigators in central Washington's Yakima Valley should expect a near normal water supply this summer.

YAKIMA, Wash. —

The Bureau of Reclamation says irrigators in central Washington's Yakima Valley should expect a near normal water supply this summer.

That's according to their July 2009 forecast based on stream flows, snowpack and precipitation.

As of July 1, reservoirs in the Yakima River basin were nearly full at 98 percent of capacity. The Yakima River basin stretches from Snoqualmie Pass to Richland.

The bureau said Wednesday that both junior and senior water rights holders are expected to receive their full water supply.
