Sediment computed tomography (CT) scans, photographs, and core-log descriptions from Conconully Reservoir, Okanogan County, WA, 2022-2023
December 8, 2025
This data release contains information on four sediment cores that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Conconully Reservoir, Okanogan County, Washington, in June 2022 and October 2023. Data include the location each sediment core was collected, descriptions of the sediment profile of two of the cores (i.e., texture, color, structure, and visible constituents), photographs of three of the sediment cores, and a computed tomography (CT) scan of one sediment core. The reservoir was cored to quantify background and fire-induced sedimentation rates, as well as potential contamination of sediment from the 2021 Muckamuck Fire.

Post-wildfire sedimentation and release of metals to Conconully Reservoir, Washington
Wildfires can negatively impact reservoirs and water supply. In 2021, a wildfire in Okanagan County, Washington, engulfed a large area around Conconully Reservoir. USGS scientists are assessing sediment and water quality in the reservoir and surrounding streams.
