Oregon Water Resources Congress is a small nonprofit trade association organized as a 501(c)(6) that represents local government bodies involved in delivering agricultural water across Oregon. Its members include irrigation districts, water control districts, improvement districts, drainage districts, and other entities that manage water supplies for farming. These districts oversee complex water-management systems—reservoirs, canals, pipelines, and sometimes hydropower facilities—that deliver irrigation water to roughly a third of Oregon's irrigated land. The organization is based in Salem, Oregon. Operating in the public policy arena, OWRC focuses on policy development and coordination related to water resources for its member districts. With a small staff, it maintains a targeted, collaborative role among diverse local government entities responsible for agricultural water infrastructure.
