Oregon Water-Resources Bibliography


This bibliography contains reports pertaining to Oregon's water resources (and those of some areas of southern Washington). Most of the reports in the list have been published by the USGS or were authored by USGS personnel and published in State of Oregon reports, in journals, or in proceedings. The Oregon Water Resources Department and the Department of Environmental Quality are other good sources of information about water availability and water quality in the State.
