The IWRS Update
Oregon's IWRS provides a statewide inter-agency framework for better understanding and meeting Oregon’s instream and out-of-stream water needs. Oregon’s Water Resources Commission adopted the first IWRS in 2012 and the second in 2017. Oregon Revised Statute (536.220) requires that the IWRS is updated every 5 years.
In 2023, OWRD partnered with Oregon’s Kitchen Table, a program of the National Policy Consensus Center at Portland State University. Oregon’s Kitchen Table specializes in community engagement, particularly focused on communities who have not been engaged with in the past. This partnership provided the resources to perform public outreach and engagement, gaining feedback from Oregonians about the next edition of the IWRS.
In order to provide a platform for the public to share their thoughts, questions, and concerns, we engaged with them in the following ways:
Thank you to all who participated in the community conversations and filled out our survey!
