Water Quality and Algal Data for the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, 2005 Water Quality and Algal Data for the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, 2005
The upper North Umpqua River Basin has experienced a variety of water-quality problems since at least the early 1990's. Several reaches of the North Umpqua River are listed as water-quality limited under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Diamond Lake, a eutrophic lake that is an important source of water and nutrients to the upper North Umpqua River, is also listed as a water...

Water Quality in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, 1999-2000 Water Quality in the Yakima River Basin, Washington, 1999-2000
This report contains the major findings of a 1999?2000 assessment of water quality in streams and drains in the Yakima River Basin. It is one of a series of reports by the NAWQA Program that present major findings on water resources in 51 major river basins and aquifer systems across the Nation. In these reports, water quality is assessed at many scales?from large rivers that drain lands

Pesticides in the Lower Clackamas River Basin, Oregon, 2000-01 Pesticides in the Lower Clackamas River Basin, Oregon, 2000-01
In 2000-01, the U. S. Geological Survey sampled the Clackamas River and its major lower-basin tributaries during storm runoff conditions for 86 dissolved pesticides and selected breakdown products. Twenty-seven compounds, including 18 herbicides, 7 insecticides, and 2 pesticide breakdown products, were detected in 18 stream samples. The most commonly detected pesticides, in decreasing...

Water-quality and algal conditions in the Clackamas River basin, Oregon, and their relations to land and water management Water-quality and algal conditions in the Clackamas River basin, Oregon, and their relations to land and water management
In 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey sampled the Clackamas River, its major tributaries, and reservoirs to characterize basic water quality (nutrients, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and conductance), water quantity (water sources within the basin), and algal conditions (biomass and species composition). Sampling locations reflected the dominant land uses in the basin (forest...

Associations among fish assemblage structure and environmental variables in Willamette Basin streams, Oregon Associations among fish assemblage structure and environmental variables in Willamette Basin streams, Oregon
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program, fish were collected from 24 selected stream sites in the Willamette Basin during 1993-1995 to determine the composition of the fish assemblages and their relation to the chemical and physical environment. Variance in fish relative abundance was greater among all sites than among spatially distinct reaches...

Water-quality and algal conditions in the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, 1992-95, and implications for resource management Water-quality and algal conditions in the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon, 1992-95, and implications for resource management
This report describes the results of a synoptic water-quality and algal investigation during July 1995 at 36 stream sites in a 1,350 square-mile area of the North Umpqua River Basin, Oregon. The study area includes a headwaters hydroelectric project area, a Wild and Scenic reach in the main stem immediately downstream, and the watersheds of several major tributaries. Additional data from...
