Washita Basin Project

The Washita Basin Project is a Bureau of Reclamation water management initiative in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Authorized in 1956, the project was designed to provide a dependable municipal and industrial water supply for communities in western Oklahoma, while also offering flood control, recreation, and wildlife habitat benefits. Its principal features include Foss Reservoir and Fort Cobb Reservoir, which together supply water to approximately 40,000 people and support regional economic development.
