This report presents estimates of land uses, concentrating on agricultural land in the Tualatin drainage basin. Acreage in different crop groups and agricultural water use and distribution in the watershed were estimated. The total amounts of nitrogen and phosphate applied to agricultural land and the average loading of nutrients per...
Water quality and stream flow data for tliree representative land uses in the Tualatin River Basin were evaluated to determine the comparative levels of various pollutants. In addition, the data were used in an effort to identify the extent to which observed concentrations of total and ortho phosphorus could be...
This thesis focuses on the economic efficiency of alternative habitat, streamfiow, and land use
allocations within a major drainage of the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, productivity of present habitat
and streamfiow conditions is evaluated with respect to anadromous fish species (chinook salmon and
steelhead trout) in the John Day River Basin,...
In response to Oregon House Bill 3338, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requested proposals in 1991 to assemble available information on Tualatin River Basin conditions to provide a scientific basis for improving river water quality. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Oregon State University and Portland State University was...
The Tualatin River in northwest Oregon has been designated as water quality limited by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. Restoration and enhancement of riparian areas to improve water quality is one task to be pursued by management agencies. This paper examines some of the potential costs and benefits of...

The Tualatin River Basin is located in the Washington County, Oregon. The river was detected having high chlorophyll a concentration and low dissolved oxygen concentration during summer time, which violated DEQ water quality standards. A mathematical model (HSPF) was used to simulate physical, chemical and biological processes in the basin...
Metro received grant funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1995 to gather digital, or computerized, geographic data for the Clackamas River watershed. This atlas was produced as one way to share the information collected with resource managers, policy makers, and people living in and interested in the Clackamas...
