Water resources data, Washington, water year 1988
Water-resources data for the 1988 water year for Washington consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels of wells. This report contains discharge records for 202 gaging stations; stage only records for 6 gaging stations; stage and (or) contents for 38 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 28 streamflow-gaging stations, and 9 ungaged streamsites; water levels for 77 observation wells; and water quality for 1 observation well. Also included are data for 13 crest-stage partial-record stations and 112 partial-record or miscellaneous streamflow stations. Locations of these sites are shown on figures 4a, 4b, 5, 6a, 6b, 35a, and 35b. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Washington.

Magnitude and frequency of floods in eastern Oregon
A method for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods is presented for unregulated streams in eastern Oregon. Equations relating flood magnitude to basin characteristics were developed for exceedance probabilities of 0.5 to 0.01 (2- to 100-year recurrence intervals). Separate equations are presented for four regions: Southeast, Northeast, North Central, and Eastern Cascades. Also presented are values of flood discharges for selected exceedance probabilities and of basin characteristics for all gaging stations used in the analysis. Included are data for 148 stations in Oregon, 3 stations in northern California, 3 stations in western Idaho, 4 stations in northern Nevada, and 4 stations in southern Washington. Drainage areas used in the analysis range from 0.47 to 11,300 square miles. Also included are maximum discharges for all eastern Oregon stations used in the analysis. (USGS)
