Creator:: Bonn, Bernadine A., Washington County (Or.). Unified Sewerage Agency., and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract:: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has worked cooperative with the Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County (USA) since 1990 to assess water quality in the Tualatin River Basin. The objectives of this study were to: assess the occurrence and magnitude of trace element and selected organic contaminants in streams of...

Creator:: Rinella, Frank A., Geological Survey (U.S.), United States. Forest Service, and Douglas County (Or.)
Abstract:: This report presents the concentrations of major ions, nutrients, and trace elements in water and bottom sediments collected in the four-tributaries during the low-flow condition of September 9-13, 1996. Stream-water chemistry results are contrasted, and trace-element concentrations compared with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chronic aquatic life toxicity criteria. Bottom -sediment...

Abstract:: Arsenic concentrations exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) current Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 50 micrograms per liter are widespread in ground water in the Willamette Basin. The Oregon Water Resources Department and the U.S. Geological Survey began a cooperative study in the Willamette Basin in 1996. One goal...

Creator:: Altman, Bob, Henson, Colleen M., Waite, Ian R., United States. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Water-Quality Assessment Program (U.S.), and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract:: This report reviews and summarizes available information on aquatic biological communities in the Willamette Basin through 1995. Specifically, the report describes (1) the distribution, abndance, and trends of three taxonomic groups--algae, macroinvertebrates, and fish--and, to a lesser degree, other selected semi-aquatic taxa (i.e., taxa frequenting but not living wholly in...

Creator:: Hinkle, Stephen R., National Water-Quality Assessment Program (U.S.), and Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract:: The purposes of this report are to describe the quality of shallow ground water in alluvial aquifers of the Willamette Basin and to identify relationships between shallow ground-water quality and various natural and anthropogenic factors. Several natural and anthropogenic factors (soil characteristics, cumulative thickness of clay above open interval of...

Creator:: Nakama, Lenore Y., Risley, John C., and United States. Bureau of Land Management, Geological Survey
Abstract:: The report describes the results of model calibration and validation, and evaluates the extent to which runoff response to timber harvesting and increased road densities in East Fork Lobster Creek Basin can be simulated, using Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS), a deterministic, destributed-parameter-modeling system.

Creator:: Li, Judith L., Gregory, Stanley V., and Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute
Abstract:: Tributaries of the Tualatin River cascade down high gradient slopes for relatively short distances, then flow into the low gradient mainstem which meanders for much of its length. The gentle, east-facing slopes of Oregon's Coast Range provide the geomorphic and climatic template for the watershed's patterns of discharge, water quality,...

Creator:: Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute, Miner, J. Ronald, and Scott, Eric F.
Abstract:: Dairy Creek, located in Washington County, Oregon, has a drainage area of approximately 230 square miles, and includes West Fork, East Fork, and McKay Creek drainages. Dairy Creek is a major tributary of the Tualatin River which experiences algal problems during the late summer when stream flows decrease and water...

Creator:: Vedanayagam, Samuel, Nelson, Peter O., and Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to develop a mass-balance model for total suspended solids in the Tualatin River in order to better understand the clarity-turbidity problem in the river. Major sources and sinks of suspended solids in the river were identified, and seasonal effects were explored. The study also...
