| Abstract | Long Description |
The overall objective of the Yakima River Suspended Sediment TMDL Evaluation Phase 1 was to provide a revised assessment of where the most severe suspended sediment and persistent pesticide problems are located within the Yakima basin, and which sub-basins have the greatest likelihood of damaging fish resources. The specific GIS objective was to use landscape analysis to estimate source-area erosion from irrigated areas based on readily available techniques and data. The project area for this analysis included the entire Yakima River watershed, although the primary focus was on irrigated cropland. |
