Mean annual recharge from irrigation, inches, upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon, 1985 - 2007

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-08-27T00:00:00Z
This data set contains mean annual recharge due to infiltration of irrigation water, in millimeters and inches, within the upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon for years 1985-2007. These data were originally generated for the Columbia Plateau model of Ely and others (2014) using methods described in Bauer and Vaccaro, 1990 and Kahle and others, 2011. These data were modified as described in the Processing Steps.
