Tools to View 2008 Water Quality Listings

The 2008 Water Quality Assessment lists waterbody segments that have water quality data available in 5 different categories.

To do your own query of the Water Quality Assessment information, use one of the following tools:

  1. Use the Simple Query Tool to quickly create a list of waters that are specific to your needs. You can create lists for specific categories, waterbodies, pollutant parameters, and other information, in whatever combination you choose.
  2. Use the interactive mapping tool to see a graphic representation of the Water Quality Assessment.  This is a GIS (Geographic Information System) application developed specifically by Department of Ecology to help you to find waters you are interested in and the associated information for segments of waters.
     
  3. Use the GIS Map Information to view maps of Water Quality Assessment lists.  (Under development)
     
  4. Can’t find the WRIA you are looking for?
