​In partnership with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), NFWF supports an innovative, grassroots, incentive-based initiative to improve river and stream flows for imperiled fish. The Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program is the first regional effort in the U.S. to enhance flows in tributaries compromised by legal water diversions. In FY 2011, agency, tribal and nonprofit partners in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana secured more than 111,260 acre-feet instream to boost high-priority, fish-bearing habitat across the region, the most instream to date.
