2026 Drought update: Irrigation Pulse Flows

announcements
Written By Michaela L.

Local partners are working together to support salmon migration during drought conditions, Washington Water Trust, Dungeness Water Users Association and JSKT may implement up to four pulse flows this irrigation season. During a pulse flow, irrigation diversion gates are temporarily closed for approximately 12-24 hours, allowing more water to remain in the Dungeness River and encouraging salmon to move upstream into spawning habitat.

Pulse flow schedule:

  • Saturday July 18th, 8:00 AM - July 19th, 8:00 AM. (24 hrs) Complete

  • Saturday July 25th, 8:00 AM- July 26th, 8:00 AM. (24 hrs) Complete

  • Saturday Aug 8th, 6:00 PM- Aug 9th, 6:00 AM. (12 hrs) Complete

  • Saturday Aug 15th, 8:00 AM - AUG. 16, 8:00 AM. (24 hrs)

If you are an irrigation shareholder, please make sure your irrigation district or company has your current email address so you receive notification of scheduled pulse flows. Clallam Conservation District does not send these notifications.
