Geology and ground water of the Tualatin Valley, Oregon Geology and ground water of the Tualatin Valley, Oregon
The Tualatin Valley proper consists of broad valley plains, ranging in altitude from 100 to 300 feet, and the lower mountain slopes of the drainage basin of the Tualatin River, a tributary of the Willamette River in northwestern Oregon. The valley is almost entirely farmed. Its population is increasing rapidly, partly because of the expansion of metropolitan Portland. Structurally, the...

Geology and ground-water resources of the Walla Walla River basin Washington-Oregon Geology and ground-water resources of the Walla Walla River basin Washington-Oregon
The Walla Walla River, whose drainage basin of about 1,330 square miles lies astride the Washington-Oregon boundary, drains westward to empty into the Columbia River. The basin slopes from the 5,000-foot crest of the Blue Mountains through a structural and topographic basin to the terraced lands adjoining the Columbia River at an altitude of about 340 feet. The main unit of the...

Selected ground water data in the Eola-Amity Hills area, northern Willamette Valley, Oregon Selected ground water data in the Eola-Amity Hills area, northern Willamette Valley, Oregon
Occurrence, quality, and availability of ground water differ considerably from place to place in the Eola-Amity Hills area because of the highly diversified geologic and hydrologic conditions. A table relates the geologic situation to the availability of ground water for four areas--Eola-Amity Hills, east and west valley plains, and Willamette River flood plain. Tables show well and...

The operation and maintenance of a crest-stage gaging station The operation and maintenance of a crest-stage gaging station
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize field personnel with the procedures involved in operating crest-stage gaging stations. Crest-stage gages are used to determine the elevation of a peak stage occurring at a specific location in a stream. A crest-stage gage consists of a length of 14-inch diameter pipe installed in a vertical position in the stream channel (figure 1). The pipe...

Quality of surface waters in the lower Columbia River Basin Quality of surface waters in the lower Columbia River Basin
This report, made during 1959-60, provides reconnaissance data on the quality of waters in the lower Columbia River basin ; information on present and future water problems in the basin; and data that can be employed both in water-use studies and in planning future industrial, municipal, and agricultural expansion within this area. The lower Columbia River basin consists of approximately...
