The contamination of ground water resources represents a serious
problem and a prominent threat to the health of our society. This study
focuses on the leaching of inorganic anions as a function of agricultural
practices under natural field conditions. In order to enhance the
understanding of such leaching processes, this...
A spreadsheet-based transport model was developed in Microsoft Excel™ as part of a six-year National Cooperative Highway Research Program project conducted at Oregon State University. The model simulated the leaching, transport, removal, and retardation processes that occur in the surface and subsurface pathways of the near highway environment. For all...
Measuring the flow rate of water is the first step to good water management. All water right holders in the State of Oregon must be able to measure the flow rate of the water being diverted.
Prediction equations were developed for estimating the flow
regime at ungaged stream locations in the Oregon coastal range.
Principal components analysis was used to screen the initial data set
of physiographic and meteorological parameters. The final regression
equations for predicting mean monthly flow had standard errors of
estimate ranging from...
Statistical summaries of streamfiow data at 358 stream-gaging sites
are presented to aid in appraising the hydrology of river basins in Oregon.
Records for 36 stream-gaging stations were compiled into separate periods
because of changes in streamflow regulation during the period of data
collection. Statistical summaries for the periods before...
A methodology for estimating streamf low characteristics on Ungaged
streams was developed for northwestern Oregon. Basin area and
basin area multiplied by the square root of relief were found to be
effective independent variables in regression models for estimating
the average annual flow, the average daily flood with a two-year...
