Abstract |
The report represents a preliminary examination of present and predicted future municipal and industrial water supply and stream quality control needs in the Willow Creek Basin. The objective of the study was to determine on a preliminary basis whether or not provisions for municipal and industrial water supply and/or low flow augmentation for stream quality control should be considered in the planning of the proposed reservoir. Studies involved Heppner, Oregon (population 1,660), located immediately below the proposed dam site, and Lexington, Oregon (population 240) and Iona, Oregon (population 350), situated approximately eight miles and seventeen miles downstream from Heppner, respectively. |
