Abstract
The State of Washington faced a record drought situation for the 2001 water year. The opportunity to lease water from current water right holders for the purpose of enhancing instream flows to improve conditions for fish were constrained by the drought. Water leasing activities conducted by the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE), the Roza Irrigation District, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) will be discussed here.
