Pierce County Groundwater
The rapid growth of population in the Tacoma-Puyallup area in Pierce County has placed increasing demands on the ground-water resource. Most domestic water needs are met by wells completed in the several hundred feet of glacial deposits that underlie the area, and about 9,000 persons are served by a single spring on the southwestern side of Puyallup. Most of the population relies on individual...
Probability Flows for Streams in Eastern WA
Under Washington regulations, bridges, culverts, and other stream-crossing structures need to be designed with fish passage in mind. For culverts, maximum flows cannot exceed a 10-percent exceedance probability flow (the flow that is equalled or exceeded 10 percent of the time) when fish are migrating upstream.
To help the Washington Department of Natural Resources manage its culverts...

Fish die-offs in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, have been preceded in recent years first by high pH and ammonia levels, then by widespread conditions of low dissolved oxygen, according to a new report by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, July 12, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne will fly over Mount St. Helens to view the ongoing volcanic eruption. His flyover will offer him the opportunity to see the extent of devastation caused by the catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980 and new dome-building activities in the Mount St. Helens crater.
