Oregon District Active Projects
OR003 Water Quality Stations
Study area
PROJECT CHIEF: Joseph F. Rinella
LOCATION: State of Oregon
PROJECT EXTENT: Statewide
BACKGROUND
Water resource planning and water-quality assessment require a nationwide base
level of relatively standardized information. For intelligent planning and
realistic assessment of the water resource, the chemical and physical quality
of the rivers and streams must be defined and monitored.
OBJECTIVE
To provide a national bank of water-quality data for broad federal planning and
action programs and to provide data for Federal management of interstate and
international waters.
APPROACH
Operation of a network of water-quality stations to provide average chemical
concentrations, loads, and time trends as required by planning and management
agencies.
