| Abstract |
Lakes and reservoirs were inventoried in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon and Washington) to determine the number and location of these water bodies in the region. GIS data were obtained from various sources and combined into a single data layer. The lakes on the layer were verified against maps for water bodies equal to 4 ha. Results show that there are approximately 10,535 lakes/reservoirs in the PNW that have been assigned names. There are 3965 lakes/reservoirs equal to 4 ha in surface area in this region. About 90% of these lakes are less than 200 ha and fully one-half (n=1985) are less than 10 ha. A water quality database was compiled from various sources for lakes in the region. The data were screened and May - October medians (summer index values) calculated for total phosphorus, total nitrogen, Secchi depth and chlorophyll a. The behavior of these variables was analyzed across Level III Ecoregions. |
