Oregon’s Integrated Water Resources Strategy (IWRS)

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) was updated in 2023 to require that the IWRS is updated every 8 years. 

Oregon's 2025 IWRS 

The state released Draft 1 of the IWRS in March 2024 and Draft 2 in April 2025 for public review and comment. The project team developed a final draft that was adopted by Water Resources Commission at their September 11, 2025 meeting.

For reference, the 2017 IWRS is linked below. The 2017 Framework, listing the Recommended Actions, is provided in both English and Spanish.
