| Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology used the steady-state QUAL2E model to evaluate potential water quality changes from proposed operational changes by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at the Chandler Canal and Columbia Canal diversions. The study area for this modeling project encompassed the lower 47 miles of the Yakima River, downstream of Prosser. The proposed operational changes are part of the USBR Columbia River Pump Exchange Project. Two synoptic surveys were conducted by Ecology, in September 1999 and July 2000, to assess water quality characteristics during the summer low-flow season. The water quality data from these surveys were used to calibrate and confirm the QUAL2E model. |
