Klamath County, Oregon - concluded that the language of the Endangered Species Act gave priority use of water to the sucker fish of the Klamath Lakes and the wild salmon of the Klamath River, and cut off water deliveries to 1,400 farmers of the Klamath Project. This resulted in numerous demonstrations and farm-related bankrupcies. In the following summer, there was once again insufficient water for both irrigation and wildlife. The Bush administration ruled that farmers would this time receive preference for water use.

Many conservation groups have criticized this decision. In June, 2003, Bureau of Reclamation officials have informed farmers in the Klamath project that they must reduce.
