Lower Willamette River basin

Third of a series of three reports on the Willamette River Basin conducted by the State Water Resources Board

Mid-coast basin

The purpose of this report is to set forth in a condensed form the major items considered by the State Water Resources Board in its formulation of an integrated, coordinated program of use and control of the water resources of the Mid-Coast Basin in Oregon

Umpqua river basin

The purpose of this 1958 report is to implement the water resources policy of the State of Oregon, as prescribed in ORS 536.300

Fish and wildlife resources of the Middle Coast Basin, Oregon, and their water requirements (revised)

The fish and wildlife resources of the Middle Coast Basin (Fig. 1), their present status, value, limiting factors and water requirements are reviewed in this report. Minimum and optimum stream flow recommendations are presented and field study methods outlined. The flow recommendations for fish life are primarily for use by the State Water Resources Board to update their benefical water use program for the basin. In addition, recommendations are made for recreational and esthetic uses of water not directly related to fish and wildlife water requirements. Initial field work conducted in the basin in 1962-64 resulted in a report (1965) by James M. Hutchison of the same title as this report. Additional work was carried out by the present authors in 1970-71 using new techniques for stream flow study. Flow recommendations reflecting new field techniques and additional information requested by the State Water Resources Board were added to the present report."Federal Aid to Fish Restoration, completion report.

Expressing Oregon environmental benchmarks in ecological terms: recommendations to the Oregon progress board

A multidisciplinary team of scientists (Appendix 1) examined 10 of the 16 environmental benchmarks that are tracked by the Oregon Progress Board. The intent of the environmental benchmarks is to provide a fair assessment of the status and trends of Oregon's environmental health. The scientists were asked to clarify benchmark definitions if necessary, explain the status of data for the benchmarks, and define ecologically possible conditions for each of those benchmarks for which such conditions could be identified. were asked to clarify benchmark definitions if necessary, explain the status of data for the benchmarks, and define ecologically possible conditions for each of those benchmarks for which such conditions could be identified
