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...

Geology and ground-water resources of the upper Grande Ronde River basin, Union County, Oregon Geology and ground-water resources of the upper Grande Ronde River basin, Union County, Oregon

The upper Grande Ronde River basin is a 1,400-square-mile area in northeastern Oregon, between the Blue Mountains to the west and the Wallowa Mountains to the east. The area is drained by the Grande Ronde River, which flows northeast through this region and is tributary to the Snake River. The climate is generally moderate; temperature extremes recorded at La Grande are 22°F. below zero...

Sedimentation in three small forested drainage basins in the Alsea River basin, Oregon Sedimentation in three small forested drainage basins in the Alsea River basin, Oregon

A multidiscipline investigation to determine the effects of logging on the ecology of three small forested tributary basins is a part of an overall study of the Alsea River basin in the Coast Range of Oregon. The investigation of these small basins will be to (1) establish pre-logging conditions, (2) determine the effects of different logging methods, and (3) study the rate of recovery...

Records of wells and springs, water levels, and chemical quality of ground water in the East Portland area, Oregon Records of wells and springs, water levels, and chemical quality of ground water in the East Portland area, Oregon

Data are presented on more than 300 wells, including many new ones whose records will not be a part of a forthcoming interpretative report on the occurrence of ground water in this area. A brief description of the geomorphic features is given, and the characteristics of the rock units are summarized in a table. Principal aquifers are beds of loose sand and gravel in the early Pliocene...
