Mean annual recharge from precipitation, inches (x 1000), upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon, 1981 - 2010

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 06:02 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 27, 2020 at 12:00 AM
This data set contains mean annual recharge due to infiltration of precipitation, in inches (x 1000), within the upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon, for calendar years 1981 - 2010. Recharge due to infiltration of precipitation is estimated using a regression method developed by Bauer and Vaccaro (1990) that relates annual recharge to annual precipitation. Gridded mean annual precipitation for years 1981 - 2010 was provided by the Oregon State University PRISM Climate Group.
