The Columbia-Snake River Irrigators Association (CSRIA) represents a diverse group of Eastern Washington's prominent farming operations, including both large and small direct pumpers from the Columbia-Snake River system. With its members irrigating approximately 250,000 acres of prime row crop, vineyard, and orchard lands, the CSRIA collaborates with the Eastern Oregon Irrigators Association to bring about 400,000 acres of irrigated lands into productive cultivation.
Primarily relying on private capital, CSRIA members build and operate river pump stations and intricate water distribution systems, extending from the City of Brewster to the John Day and McNary Pools. Some members also own farming operations in the Yakima Valley and within the Columbia Basin Project area, while others work with food processing companies across the state and nation. The CSRIA membership also includes several municipal service irrigators, further contributing to the advancement of irrigated agriculture and water resources management.
