The acoustic streamflow-measuring system on the Columbia River at The Dalles, Oregon
Records of discharge on the Columbia River at The Dalles, Oreg., are vital to the management of the complex water-development projects in the Columbia River basin. Accurate discharge figures are needed for consistent day-to-day management and are required to meet treaty obligations with Canada.
Because dams have been erected that completely control watersurface elevations at nearly all points in t

Appraisal of streamflow in Tualatin River basin, Washington County, Oregon
This report describes the within-year time distribution of streamflow; the magnitude and frequency of annual minimum, mean, and maximum flows; and the within-year storage required to sustain selected flows in the Tualatin River basin. The report does not include an appraisal of instantaneous peak discharges in the basin.
Data were derived by statistical methods and are adequate for general water-

Ground-water resources of the Clatsop Plains sand-dune area, Clatsop County, Oregon
Although the average annual precipitation of the Clatsop Plains is 78.5 inches, the area is not without problems of water supply. The Clatsop Plains area ix underlain by Tertiary bedrock of low permeability that stores and yields small quantities of ground water, which may be of poor chemical quality. This Tertiary bedrock furnishes only minor ground-water discharge to maintain the base flow of st

Water-surface elevations and channel characteristics for a selected reach of the Applegate River, Jackson County, Oregon
In land-use planning for the Applegate River and its flood plain, consideration should be given to (1) preservation of the recreational attributes of the area, (2) allowance for optimum development of the flood plain's natural resources, and (3) protection of the rights of private landowners. Major factors that influence evaluation of the above considerations are the elevations and characteristics

Water-surface elevations and channel characteristics for selected reaches of the Rogue River and Elk Creek, Jackson and Josephine Counties, Oregon
The central Rogue River valley, because of its mild climate, fertile soil, scenic attractions, and sport-fishery resource, has great potential for future population growth and industrial development. As the population grows and the area develops, zoning becomes necessary to assure the most beneficial use of the land, especially of the flood plains. To establish land-use zones on the flood plains,

Willamette Basin Comprehensive Study of Water and Related Land Resources: Appendix B--Hydrology
The study was undertaken to plan for the proper development of water andrelated land resources of the Willamette Basin in Oregon. Appendix B, along with Appendices A and C, provides supporting data for the functional Appendices D through L. Climate is first discussed, including the climatic significance of geographical features such as the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia Gorge, and the Coast and Casca
