  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: South Santiam Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The South Santiam River drains approximately 1,040 square miles and is a primary tributary to the Willamette River. The South Santiam River watershed is situated in the Western Cascades and flows into the Willamette Valley. The River runs approximately from east to west, with steep mountainous terrain comprising the eastern 80% of the watershed. The western 20% of the watershed leading to the Santiam River and ultimately the Willamette River, is comprised of a floodplain dominated by grass seed farming and urban/rural development. The basin ranges in elevation from 220 feet to approximately 5,721 feet. The South Santiam watershed was divided into an upper section (Headwaters, Quartzville, Middle Santiam and Foster watersheds) and a lower section (Lower South Santiam, Crabtree, Thomas, and Wiley subwatersheds) due to ecological differences such as ecoregion, management, and elevation. The assessment was conducted in six parts including Channel Habitat Typing, Channel Modification, Riparian, Water Use and Hydrology, Fisheries, and Water Quality. Following is a summary of results from each of the sections.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lower Crooked River Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The 2008 Lower Crooked River Watershed Assessment was prepared by the Crooked River Watershed Council. The purpose of the document is to talk about the watershed and its past and current history and issues that have taken place in the watershed and how those relate to state and federal regulations. In addition it talks about the diversity of habitat found within the watershed basin and the fish and wildlife that inhabit the area. Following the past and current history the document discusses the assesment and offers some proposed changes to the watershed to ensure higher ecological potential.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Pudding River Watershed Assessment, 2006 Abstract -- Northeast of Salem, five large streams flow west out of the Cascade Mountains to join the Pudding River as it meanders north across the broad Willamette Valley and to its confluence with the Molalla River near Canby. In this document, we characterize past and current watershed conditions and identify opportunities for improving conditions in this watershed. Chapter headings include: introduction and watershed overview, water quality, fish populations and aquatic habitat, water flow and use, riparian vegetation and wetlands, and riparian and stream restoration. The two appendices deal with Pudding River watershed history and BLM Conservation Strategy objectives. 221 pp. Numerous illustrative maps in PDF format accompany this report.
