dc.description.abstractThis report contains the major findings of a 1999–2000 assessment of water quality in streams and drains in the Yakima River Basin. It is one of a series of reports by the NAWQA Program that present major findings on water resources in 51 major river basins and aquifer systems across the Nation. In these reports, water quality is assessed at many scales—from large rivers that drain lands having many uses to small agricultural watersheds—and is discussed in terms of local, State, and regional issues. Conditions in the Yakima River Basin are compared to those found elsewhere and to selected national benchmarks, such as those for drinking-water quality and the protection of aquatic organisms.en_US

Description:
In 2001, the NAWQA Program entered its second decade of investigations and an intensive reassessment of water conditions was begun to determine trends, based on 10 years of comparable monitoring data collected at selected streams and ground-water sites. The next 10 years of study also will fill critical gaps in characterizing water-quality conditions, and increase understanding of processes that control water-quality conditions, which will better establish critical links among sources of contaminants, their transport through the hydrologic system, and the potential effects of contaminants on ecological health and on the quality of drinking water
