| Study Name | Lower Yakima River Monitoring to Support Water Quality Gaging (Water Quality Monitoring for Aquatic Life Parameters) |
| EIM Data Entry Review Status | Not Reviewed |
| Study Type | General environmental study |
| Study Purpose | The goal of this study is to collect water quality data, field measurements and water samples, from the mainstem Lower Yakima River. Ecology will collect this data in contract with the USBR to support the continuous water quality monitoring in the Lower Yakima River by the USGS in 2022. The data will be part of a larger data set used to model and simulate water temperature and DO levels in the Lower Yakima River Basin.
Objectives:
• Collect biweekly samples of suspended solids, turbidity, nutrients, organic carbon, and alkalinity in the Lower Yakima River mainstem and major tributaries.
• Monitor continuous (diel) temperature, turbidity, chlorophyll a, and DO at several stations. |
