| Short Description |
The Walla Walla Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 32 is located in southeastern Washington state, in Walla Walla County and part of Columbia County. It has three major water systems: the Touchet, the Mill Creek/Yellowhawk Creek, and the Walla Walla River. The watershed as a whole extends into northeastern Oregon. The basin has limited water resources, and most of the summer flows in the Walla Walla have been diverted for irrigation. For many years, parts of the Walla Walla River were seasonally dried up, seriously impacting salmon and other fish. By 1999, bull trout and steelhead were listed as threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act. | |||
