Water Resources Data for the 1985 water year for Oregon consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; and stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs. This report, in two volumes , contains discharge records for 259 gaging stations; stage only records for 10 gaging stations; stage and contents for 37 lakes and reservoirs; water quality for 82 stations, and water quality for 3 precipitation stations. Also included are 5 crest-stage, partial-record stations. Additional water data were collected at various sites, not part of the systematic data collection program, and are published as miscellaneous measurements. 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 Oregon.

Hydrologic data-verification management program plan

Data verification refers to the performance of quality control on hydrologic data that have been retrieved from the field and are being prepared for dissemination to water-data users. Water-data users now have access to computerized data files containing unpublished, unverified hydrologic data. Therefore, it is necessary to develop techniques and systems whereby the computer can perform some data-verification functions before the data are stored in user-accessible files. Computerized data-verification routines can be developed for this purpose. A single, unified concept describing master data-verification program using multiple special-purpose subroutines, and a screen file containing verification criteria, can probably be adapted to any type and size of computer-processing system. Some traditional manual-verification procedures can be adapted for computerized verification, but new procedures can also be developed that would take advantage of the powerful statistical tools and data-handling procedures available to the computer. Prototype data-verification systems should be developed for all three data-processing environments as soon as possible. The WATSTORE system probably affords the greatest opportunity for long-range research and testing of new verification subroutines. (USGS)
