The study was conducted in order to obtain some understanding of the hydrologic characteristics of streamflow under dry weather conditions, and from this knowledge develop some means for prediction of seasonal-low streamflow quantities.
It was considered desirable to prepare "drought frequency plots" for a number of watersheds of varying sizes...
By the early 1990s, the citizens of Tillamook County recognized that environmental problems facing Tillamook Bay threatened the very future of those residing here. Declining fish runs meant loss of income for commercial fishermen, tackle shops, hotel owners, and other fishing - dependent businesses. Decreasing water quality meant violations of...
The Tualatin River in northwest Oregon has been designated as water quality limited by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

While still a prime agricultural region, the Tualatin Valley is one of the state's fastest developing areas. The slow accumulation of...
This research was designed to broaden the understanding of how timber-harvest affects aquatic macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwater streams. This study compared emergent and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages from 20 headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range that varied by harvest condition and flow duration. Through comparison of the...
Consists largely of tables summarizing various hatchery and game farm expenditures, numbers of trout handled at different life stages and locations, and also game fish/pheasants liberated.
