YAKIMA The Bureau of Reclamation’s September 2023 water supply forecast for the Yakima basin indicates the water supply will provide senior water rights 100% of entitlements and junior water rights 73% of entitlements for the June–September total available water supply. The increase in junior water rights rose slightly from 72% from the previous month.
Prorationing began June 1 and will apply to the June 1 through Sept. 30 irrigation entitlements.
Reclamation manages water in the five Yakima Project storage reservoirs, which are used along with other unregulated flows in the basin to fulfill water rights, water contracts and instream flow obligations. Water shortages in the basin are shared equally by the junior water rights, which represent over half of the water rights in the basin. Senior rights will not be reduced this year.
