On March 29, 2022, the NUID board of directors set the 2022 irrigation season allotments at .45 acre-foot per acre for Deschutes River and 0.23 acre-foot per acre for Crooked River due to continued extreme drought conditions. NUID will continue to assess the situation and provide weekly updates to the Board of Directors, who will evaluate and adjust accordingly.
By setting the allotment lower, the NUID Board hopes to avoid water order caps and increase the allotment if conditions permit
