Water Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH Point Measurements from a Beaver Pond along Fanno Creek, Oregon, on four hot days in summers 2016-17
August 25, 2020
Water-quality point measurements were collected at various depths throughout a beaver pond along Fanno Creek in the Tualatin River Basin, Oregon. Parameters collected include water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and sometimes pH. All data were collected over a short period of time (< 4 hours) during 4 hot days in order to characterize the spatial (both horizontal and vertical) variability of these parameters during periods that could potentially be stressful to aquatic life.

Significant Findings American beavers (Castor canadensis) are native to the Pacific Northwest, and their populations have increased in many locations after being nearly removed by historical trapping. Beaver dams have well-documented effects on water quality in forested streams, but their effects on water quality in urban streams have not been well characterized. The study documented the...
