| Description | Limited monitoring within the Naches River basin has shown high water temperature, low dissolved oxygen (DO), and high pH conditions that are harmful to fish and other aquatic life that depend on pH-balanced, cool, oxygenated water. The Washington State Department of Ecology will conduct a more thorough assessment of temperature, DO, and pH in the Tieton River and Lower Naches River by measuring seasonal levels of temperature, DO, and pH as well as seasonal concentrations of nutrients, organic carbon, alkalinity, and suspended solids. Data loggers will continuously monitor the temperature and DO of mainstem sites on the Tieton River and Lower Naches River, as well as key water inflows. Short-term data loggers will also monitor diel pH at key locations. Additionally, streamflow will be monitored at selected un-gaged locations. Data collection will provide baseline water quality data in the lower part of the basin. Data collection will be enough to calibrate a water quality model to simulate DO and pH. Monitoring and sampling will occur from June 2024 through October 2024, capturing critical periods during the irrigation season and some post-irrigation periods. |
