| Description | The Department of Ecology (Ecology) was authorized by the legislature to use water banking in the Yakima River Basin to meet water supply needs. A work group was formed to assist in the design of a water bank. A written report covers the decisions and recommendations of the work group. Ecology and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) drafted a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to govern the operation of the proposed bank. However, the MOA is not yet final, and as a result, a formal system of water banking has yet to be implemented in the Yakima River Basin. Ecology hopes to have a final MOA in early 2005, and to then establish the Yakima Water Exchange. | ||||
