Stream Inventory and Data Analysis
The Pacific Northwest Region has developed this site to assist people who work with aquatic and riparian data from stream surveys. The Region has surveyed thousands of miles of streams in Oregon and Washington.
This website serves to provide examples of stream survey data formats, show specific uses for data and provide tools for the analysis and display of stream survey information. Many innovative methods have been developed by people to display and interpret this data for reports, assessments, watershed analysis, environmental analysis (NEPA), consultation under the Endangered Species Act and other purposes.
This site also provides information on training workshops designed to supplement and strengthen the technical skills of people working in fisheries and hydrology.
The Pacific Northwest Region is in a transition from the Regional SMART database in Oracle to the National Resources Information System (NRIS) - Water Module. NRIS will also store data in Oracle and will spatially locate stream survey data by reach in GIS. Initially, this site will display survey data analysis examples derived from SMART data outputs, provide tools for this using this data and address important issues related to moving this data into NRIS Water.
