Columbia Basin Development League

WHAT IS THE COLUMBIA BASIN PROJECT?

Beginning as part of the River and Harbors Act of 1935, the Columbia Basin Project (CBP) is an effort to bring more reliable and efficient irrigation watering to the farms and land of the Mid-Columbia Basin.

The project currently brings water to nearly 700,000 acres of farmland, and as the project continues, the Columbia Basin Development League (CBDL) hopes to continue the mission of the CBP by delivering water to another 358,000 acres that exist within the project area.
