A tractor tears dried dirt on land that was unplanted this year due to the water shortage on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, in Tulelake, Calif. This summer for the first time ever, hundreds of farmers along the California-Oregon border who rely on irrigation from a depleted, federally managed lake aren’t getting any water from it at all. Competition over the water in the Klamath Basin has always been intense, but this summer, because of a historic drought there is not enough water for the needs of farmers, Native American tribes and wildlife refuges.
