Welcome to the Klamath Basin Area Office (KBAO)

Pictures of some of our dams Details...

Situated in south-central Oregon and northern California, the Klamath Basin Area Office, with headquarters in Klamath Falls, Oregon, was originally authorized as the Klamath Project on May 15, 1905, for irrigation service to about 240,000 acres.

Eventually, three storage reservoirs providing 1,104,418 acre-feet of active storage in the Klamath River and Lost River basins were built.

More than 1,400 miles of canals and drains, 37 pumping plants, and 2 tunnels provide service to water users, and indirectly to 4 of 6 national wildlife refuges, which are part of the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges Complex.
