| Short Description |
The Spokane River and Long Lake exhibit depressed dissolved oxygen (DO) levels during low flow in the summer months. At the same time, most wastewater dischargers along the Spokane River have requested to increase their discharge of wastewater to the river, which can further decrease DO. Maintaining good water quality in the river, especially adequate concentrations of DO, is vitally important for supporting fish, invertebrates and other aquatic life. | |||
