Help Us Keep the Clackamas River Flowing

Less snow on the mountains means less water in rivers

During summer, accumulated mountain snow, known as snowpack, slowly melts and feeds our streams and rivers.

This year, a warmer-than-usual winter produced less snowpack, resulting in lower river levels. At the same time, water use increases during the summer months, placing greater demand on our water supply.

Reducing Outdoor Watering is the #1 Way to Help

Use Only What You Need

In our region, lawns need about one inch of water a week. Most irrigation systems use 2-3x as much!

Water early in the morning or at night to reduce evaporation.

Let Your Grass Go Brown

Want to make an even bigger impact? Skipping lawn watering in the summer can save thousands of gallons per month, meaning more water stays in the Clackamas and more money stays in your wallet!
