Summer low-flow behavior in the semi-arid areas of the Pacific Northwest was studied. Long-term data from thirty-eight streams/rivers and thirty-six precipitation stations was exploited. The study area was divided into five zones based on annual average precipitation. Trends and patterns
in summer low-flows and precipitation were identified. Different zones showed...
Characteristics of low flows of nine streams in eastern Oregon were explored using long-term streamflow records. Year-to-year dependence of low flows is highly significant for streams in the Blue Mountain and the southeastern Oregon regions. Low streamflows increased over the period of record for seven of the selected streams. Flow...
