		Upper Klamath Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Oregon, and one of the largest in the United States.
		In 1921 the Legislature enacted a law (ORS 274.430) stating all lakes that were meandered by the federal government are "declared to be navigable and public waters" and vested the title to the submerged and submersible lands of such lakes in the State of Oregon.
		The title to the submersible and submerged lands of such meandered lakes, which are not included in the valid terms of a grant or conveyance from the State of Oregon, is vested in the State of Oregon.

	Klamath Water Storage Request Turns Into Regional Diplomacy Gambit
		An idea hatched decades ago, the idea is to use Long Lake, a natural bowl, to form a large reservoir, and then send the water -- expected to be colder and cleaner than Upper Klamath Lake's -- down the Klamath for fish.
		As conceived, the Long Lake project could trap perhaps 350,000 acre feet of water from winter and summer precipitation, then pipe the water to the Klamath River as needed.
		That could allow more Upper Klamath Lake water to be used by irrigators, increasing the flexibility of the federal Klamath Irrigation Project.

		In the final report, the committee indicated that some adjustments (such as increased summer flows down the river) were needed to the operation of the Klamath Project, which delivers irrigation water to 220,000 acres of farmland, but not adjustments as severe as those originally proposed by the fisheries agencies.
		The committee's report covers an array of problems, such as excessive growth of algae and depleted oxygen levels in Upper Klamath Lake, dams that block spawning migrations, competition from hatchery fish, excessive sediment in streams, loss of stream bank vegetation, and high water temperatures in the summer.
