Oregon’s stream gaging network was last evaluated in 1970 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Water management and scientific-related needs have changed significantly since 1970, including the recognition of instream water rights and implications of climate change on water resources. The Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) has recently undertaken an evaluation...
The Middle Fork of the John Day River (MFJD) in Northeastern Oregon contains important spawning grounds for spring Chinook and summer steelhead of the Columbia River Basin. In the summer of 2008 phase one of a river restoration project was completed which included the addition of engineered log jams (ELJs)...

After three decades of active research in hydrology and stream ecology, the connection between solute transport, stream metabolism and nutrient dynamics is still unresolved. This existing gap obscures the functionality of stream ecosystems and how they interact with other landscape processes. To date, determining rates of metabolism is accomplished with...
Whether you have 1 or 500 acres, it's important to have natural vegetation growing along the streams on your property. It's good for wildlife, stream health and property values.

Why grow plants
This report describes the accomplishments in the second and final year of a project to develop a
set of measures to monitor the socio-economic effects on the local community of the stream
restoration efforts on the upper Middle Fork John Day River. A panel of Grant County residents
helped develop...
Climate change will continue to profoundly affect water supply and aquatic ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Changes such as warmer air temperatures, increases in the proportion of winter rain versus snow, reduced spring snowpack, and earlier snowmelt all affect streamflow. The response to these climate impacts includes earlier runoff peaks,...
We monitored a suite of stream chemistry parameters for April and May, 2013, at Oak Creek, Oregon, USA. The dataset can be downloaded at the following URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7267/N9JW8BSJ, via the Dataset Query Tool. The dataset is hosted by The Oregon Hydrologic Information Server (OHIS), which is an on-line database repository...

A multidisciplinary team of scientists (Appendix 1) examined 10 of the 16 environmental benchmarks that are tracked by the Oregon Progress Board. The intent of the environmental benchmarks is to provide a fair assessment of the status and trends of Oregon's environmental health. The scientists were asked to clarify benchmark...
