| Study Name | Upper Yakima River Basin Water Quality Monitoring for Aquatic Life Parameters: Water Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Reviewed |
| Study Type | General environmental study |
| Study Purpose | This project (water quality monitoring for aquatic life parameters) outlines an Ecology monitoring program to measure temperature, DO and pH and parameters associated with productivity during 2019 calendar year. Ecology will also be conducting final status monitoring in 2019 to see if TSS and turbidity levels are meeting the final total maximum daily load (TMDL) targets set for total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity in the upper Yakima River watershed (Creech and Joy, 2002).
By organizing the data collection of temperature, DO, pH, nutrients, organic carbon, alkalinity and some additional field measurements, in addition to the extensive TSS and turbidity monitoring, Ecology can collect a complete data set that can be used to calibrate a future water quality model that simulates parameters important to aquatic life use in the basin, namely water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH. |
