UMPQUA BASIN
WATER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE
PURPOSE
. SCOPE
This Water Management Guideline has been prepared to provide
guidance and coordination to the plann1ng activities and
development of the water resources in the Umpqua Basin.
The objective of the guideline is to outline the best
over-all management and use of the water resources of the
basin . .
The .guideline contains water resources data and related in
formation that will be useful to both local ·and regional
planners. The guideline is compatible with the Umpqua Basin
Policy Statement, existing local comprehensive plans and the
goals and guidelines of the State Land Conservation and
Development Commission.
Data included in this guideline includes an inventory and
evaluation of available water resources as well as an in
ventory of present and future water needs and water related
problems. Alternate methods of meeting the needs and solving
water rela t e d problems are outlined and reconunendations are
made to address specific problem areas. The guideline is
intended to address future needs for at least the next ten
years. The gui deline as we ll a s the Umpqua Bas in Poli cy
Statement should be updated periodically to keep current
w:ith the cJ:i.angiJ:l<J p~iorities of basin' . .i;-esidents and the
needs of the State of Oregon.
BASIN DESCRIPTION
The Umpqua River Bg,sin contains 4,560 square miles and is
located in . southweste.rn Oregon (Plate 1). The };)asin is
bordered by the· Willamette River Dra,inage to tlle north_, the
Cascade Mountain range to the east, tI:>-.e Rogue River Drainage,:·.
to the south, and the Coos River d:i;-aj,nage and Pacific Ocean
tc;> the west. The basin is contiguoµs with the ~olitical
boundaries· of Douglas County and, the ~asin and tJ::ie county
are often considered to be synon~o~$: ~ This is the only
instanpe· in O_regon where a river ba$;.l;n C!-nd a <;:!Ol,lnty overla,p
and which could result in better manag.ement because of a
· single· political entity.
Geologically, the Umpqu~ Basin is qujj. te complex in· that it

the ~lamath MoU:ntains in: tJ;le sout~~·lf'~· portion:, the inter

mountain provinces, along with the low porosity and per
meability of the bedrock and soils materials, results in
a considerable amount of surface runoff with very little
precipitation entering the ground water system. Wells in
these areas are typically low yielding and stream runoff
tends to show considerable seasonal fluctuation.
The younger volcanic rocks of the Cascade Range are relatively
porous and permeable and allow recharge of the ground water
system through percolation of rainfall and . snowmelt down-
ward to the ground water table. Difficulty in assessing or
developing the ground water conditions in this province arise
from · the heterogeneous nature of the rocks and the resultant
development of perched. ground water tables, springs, seeps,
etc. Well yieldi in this area are quit~ variable. Stream
flows, however, do not show the drastic seasonal fluctuations
of the Coastal and Klamath provinces.
The intermountain lowlands consist primarily of older river
terrace deposits and recent flood plain and terrace alluvium.
The hydrologic characteristics within this province are con-
trolled by variations in thickness of alluvial deposits,
sedimen·t size, d egree of cementati on, and extent of wea thering;
and tend to be quite variable. Streamf low in the inter-
mountain areas shows considerable seasonal fluctuation.
During wi nte r and spring months, t he streams r e c eiv e s urface
runoff as well as local, intermediate and regional ground water

discharge. In the sununer and fall months, however, streamflows
. in this province drop drastically. They receive very little
water from their tributaries in the mountain provinces, and
the ground water table falls to a level where there is little
or no discharge into stream channels. Well production is
variable but in most instances is adequate for domestic and
stock watering purposes.
CLIMATE
\ ,,
The Umpqua Basin has two climatic regions; the coastal region
and the inland valley-Cascade Mountains region. Precipitation
in the coastal region varies from 70 inches annually at the
mouth of the Umpqua River to 100 inches at the crest of the
Coast Range Mountains. Precipitation in the inland valleys
varies from as low as 30 inches annually to 70 inches in the
upper Cascade Mountains. Plate 3 shows average annual pre-
cipitation throughout the basin. Precipitation data at
selected stations is shown in Appendix B.
Temperature also varies within the basin. While the average
annual temperature varies only a few degrees throughout the
basin, seasonal temperature extremes are quite variable de-
pending on distance from the Pacific Ocean and elevation.
Temperature data for selected stations is shown in.Appendix
:B.
STREA.~FLOW
The Umpqua River is divided into three major segments and
their tributaries. One segment is the North UmpquaRiver
which be.gins at r.taidu Lake near Miller Mountain at the 7,500
- 4 -
foot level of the Cascades. This segment is 106 miles long.
Another segment is the South Umpqua River which is 103 miles
long and begins at the confluence of Black Rock Fork and
Castle Rock Fork creeks. Each of these creeks is about 10
miles . long. The final segment is the main stem of the
Umpqua River which is 112 miles long and begins at the con-
fluence of the North.Umpqua and South Umpqua Rivers and flows
to the Pacific Ocean.
There is about 7.9 million acre feet of runoff annually from
the Umpqua basin. The average annual yield, as measured at
Elkton, is 5.4 million acre feet. The drainage area upstream
from Elkton is 68 per cent of the total basin area. The
North Umpqua River, as measured at Winchester, contribut"es
an average annual ~ield of 2.7 million acre feet and the
South Umpqua River, as measured near Brockway, has an average
annual yield of 2.1 million acre feet.
Substantial seasonal variations in the runoff patterns of the
Umpqua .Basin exist; _About 92 per cent of the annual runoff
occurs during the November-May period. The remaining 8 per
cent of the annual runoff occurs in the June-October period.
This is significant in terms of irrigation use as the demand
for irrigation water occurs during the June-October period.
Other uses such as municipal and industrial and instream uses
also have increased demands in the June-October time period.

WATER NEEDS AND RELATED PROBL~MS
Municipal and Domestic Water Use
The population of Douglas County is listed .as 78,500 .as of
the 1974 census. Of that ~otal population, 36,100 or 46 per ·
cent reside· in incorporated cities and are served through
municipal water systems. Group domestic systems supply some
areas of population concentration in other unincorporated
areas. The source of supply for these systems is listed ih
Table s in Appendix B.
Residents not served by municipalities or organized group
domestic systems are served by wells~ springs or surface
streams. Often, these individual systems are susceptible tb
pollution from surf ace disturbance or improperly constructed
wells . .
Of the surface streams in the Umpqua Basin, oniy the North
Umpqua River and some of its tribut~f ies are of aqequate
quantity arid of sufficient quality tq be reliable sources
for present and projected future municipal and dbm~stic
needs. The South Urnpqua River and tributaries ar~ generally
not of ~ufficient ~tiantity oi qualit~ to be reli~ble sources . .
Shortages of ~upply occur on m~ny of the streams in the south Umpqua drainage during the hot summer months froin; July through
October. Many tributary stre~ms of the main stem of the
i I

I I
I I
I I I !

i I I
Urnpgua River also reac.h such low levels of flow during
summer months that they cannot be considered reliable sources
of supply.
While the most desirable water for municipal and domestic
use is found in the North Urnpqua River drainage, the majority
of the basin population is located in the near proximity of
the South Umpgµa and main stern of the Urnpqua River.
Several of the existing water supply systems in the Umpqua
Basin are affected by water supply or water quality problems.
The following water systems are presently e~periencing pro-
blems or may have problems within the next 10 years:
City of Yoncalla City of Oakland Cities of Winston-Dillard Roberts Creek Water District City of Myrtle Creek Tri City City of Canyonville City of Glendale
In summary, the problems related to municipal and domestic
use may be stated generally as inadequate supply, especially
in summer months; poor quality of water due to various sources
of pollution; and varying degrees of water quality found in
streams presently used for sources of supply.
Irrigation
Irrigation is the largest consumptive use of water in the
Umpqua Basin. It is estimated that about 44,000 acre feet
of ~ater is used annually for irrigation purpose~. There
is presently about 17,500 acres of land und~r irrigation.
- 7 -
This is less than 12 per cent of the arable land in the
basin. ·Table 7 Appendix B lists the arable and presently
irrigated lands in the basin.
Annual shortages of irrigation water occur in the South
Umpqua River drainage and on several tributary streams to
the main stem of the Umpqua River. Irrigation demand ex-
ceeds the available supply in the July to October time
period on several streams, with shortages generally in-
creasing with time.
There has been little development of. ground water as a
source of irrigation water supply. Comprehensive ground
water studies have not been completed to determine the
extent of the ground water supply.
Many streams require regulation by water right priority
each year to lawfully.distribute the available irrigation
water supply. Streams requiring regulation are as follows:
Umpqua River
Elk Creek and tributaries -
Calapooya Creek and tributaries
Champagne Creek and tributaries
North Umpqua River
Cooper.Creek
South Umpqua River
Deer Creek and tributaries

Industrial
Industrial water use in the Umpqua Basin is not well
documented. There are, however, several industrial users
that are known to have experienced water problems due to
shortages of natural streamflow or through minimum flow
enforcement. The following table lists the industrial user
and the source of water supply:

the Umpqua Basin is summer water supply. Critically low ~ .. . ~
f J,.ows occur in most stre~ms in the July th:i;ough October
time period. The naturally low flo~~ in this time J?eriod
combined with withdrawals of water for other uses intensifies

Water supplies for wildlife in the Umpqua Basin are generally
adequate. There are five species of big game animals found
in the Umpqua Basin. These animals have minimal water re
quirements and supplies are adequate for their needs. There
are eight species of upland game animals in the basin; again,
their water requirements are small and supplies are adequate.
Furbearing animals are affected by water quality problems.
The furbearers thrive near water but will not tolerate highly
polluted water. Waterfowl within the Umpqua Basin are limited
by the lack of attractive habitat. The future of the water
fowl population in the basin depends on land and water use
practices. ' If no more waterfowl habitat is developed, bird
numbers will remain low.
Flooding
Historically, flooding has been a major problem throughout
the Umpqua Basin. Damages from flooding have been severe
and economic losses high. The most severe flood of record
occurred in 1964 when damages exceeded 29 million dollars
in the Umpqua Basin (1964 price levels). The flood caused
extensive damage to roads and bridges, houses and buildings
on flood plains, houses and buildings within cities and
towns and to over 16,000 acres of agricultural land. There
is only_ one flood retarding structure in the Umpqua Basin, con
sequently there · is .little physical deterrent to a repetition of
the flooding and economic loss which occurred in 1964.
Othe r dama g es f rom f looding include damage t o f ish spawning
areas and streamside wildlife habitat. No monetary value is
- 11 -
placed on these damages· or on the ae-st:hetic values lo·st
through stream channel erosion and destruction of adjacent
recreational areas.
CONCLUSIONS
Municipal Water Supply
Future municipal water supply ·shortages are a significant
problem in the South Umpqua Basin.
Municipal water . supplies are adequate for present a'.Iid futu:re
needs in the North Umpqua Basin.
Development of municipal water supplies in storage reservoirs
could meet existing and p:toject~d municipal needs.
It would be riecessary to utilize regional water systems to
take full economic advantage of developed municipal water
supplies.
Irrigation Water Supply
Irrigation water shortages occur ort an annual basis on many
of the streams throughout the South Umpqua Basin and on some
tributary streams to the main stem of the Umpqua River.
The existing irrigated acreage is small compared to.the
potentially irrigable acreage in the Umpqua Basin .
. '
The extent of the ground water supply in the umpqua ~asin
has not been .determined. It is presently estimated to not be
of sufficieht quantity to supply the irrigation potential.

.
Some areas of deficient irrigation water supply could be
. served from storage reservoirs.
Industria·1 Wate·r Supply
Industrial water supply in the Umpqua Basin is not well
documented. Some industrial users have been affected
by water supply shortages and lack of water may deter
industrial development in the South Umpqua drainage.
Mining Water· Supp·ly
There is little documentation of mining water use or future
needs. It is assumed that there is no shortage of.water
for mining purposes in the basin.
Domestic Water- Supply
Domestic water supplies for residences outside of municipal
or group domestic service areas are from wells, springs and
streams. In many cases, these sources are inadequate and
subject to pollution from surface disturbance.
Regional water systems could improve the quality and
quantity of domestic water in some areas where the prox
imity of users and the availability of water are coincident.
Water Supply fo:r Livestock
There is sufficient quantity and quality of water in the
Umpqua Basin for both existing and projected livestock use.
Water Supply for Temperature Control
Water for temperature control for agricultural purposes is
not presently a significant use in the Umpqua Basin.
- 13 .....:
Temperature control in surface watei· streams is critical
for maintenance of aquatic life.
Water supply for temperature control could be supplied
from storage reservoirs if the demand becomes significant.
Power Development
Hydroelectric power is a non-consumptive, desirable use of
water that is well established in the Umpqua Basin.
Hydroelectric power should be considered for developfuent at
any potential sites in the basin.
Recreation
Water related recreation is a desirable activity ahd should
be planned for and encouraged within the Umpqua Basin.
Natural lakes, storage reservoirs arid free flo~ing strea~s
should be managed ·to include recreation whenev§r possible.
Wildiif e
The water resources of the Umpqua Basin are critical to the
subsistence and propagation of the basin's wildlife.
Water resources development plans should include the pro
tection of wildlife resources.
Fish Life
The fishery in the Umpqua Basin is a significant resource
which is well documented by the Oregon Fish an'.d Wildlife
Commission.
- 14 -
•
Some areas are known to contribute pollution to streams
which is harmful to aquatic life.
Water.resource plans should recognize the importance of
protecting aquatic· life.
Water in storage reservoirs could be used to enhance aquatic
life by providing minimum streamf lows and water temperatures
at critical times.
Flooding
Flooding occurs frequently on many streams throughout the
Umpqua Basin. Damages resulting from floods are high and
there is presently only· one flood pr9tection structure in the
basin.
' Many flooding problems could be alleviated by flood retention
structures, by flood.plain management, by watershed treat-
ment measures or by combinations of the above.
Pollution Abatement
Several streams in the Umpqua Basin reach critically low
flows annually which are not sufficient to dilute pollutants.
Pollution abatement can, in some cases, be achieved through
control of pollution sources. In other cases, such as non-
point source pollution or degradation due to high tempera-
tures, pollution could be abated through increased streamflow
of lower temperature. This type of abatement could be
achieved through release of water from storage reservoirs.

UMPQUA BASIN WATER USE POLICY
In accordance with the legislation adopted in 1955, the newly created
Water Resources Board began its water resources studies and policy development
activities in the Umpqua Basin. The directive given the Board was to develop
a water resources policy for the state and to devise plans and programs for the
"' devel opme_nt of the water resources. For further explanation of the legislature 1 s
statement of policy, reference should be made to Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter
;
536.
The chronological history of water use policy activities during the
period 1956 through 1974 is shown below.

uses of water for domestic, municipal, irrigation, power
development, industrial, mining, recreation, wildlife, and
fish life uses; and for pollution abatement as well as other
related subjects including drainage, reclamation, flood
plains and reservoir sites; and
WHEREAS as a result of said studies the following
findings have been reached by this Board:
I. Basinwide Findings
A. There is sufficient water supply on an annual yield
basis to satisfy existing and future needs.
B. There is a seasonal distribution problem with
insufficient water supply in many streams during
the low flow months.
C. Irrigation water use is the major consumptive use
of the resource in the basin.
D. In many streams shortages of surface water supply
for irrigation occur during the late summer months.
E. Most municipal water use is supplied by surface
water sources.
F. In many streams during the low flow season, flows
are less than minimum perennial streamflows recog-
nized as needed to sustain fish life.
G. Recommended minimum perennial streamflows for fish
life during August thr-0ugh October in many streams
can be met only through augmentation of existing or
natural low flows.

(_ . ·""'"'-
H. Major water pollution problems exist in many streams
in the basin. Both man-made and natural pollution
exist.
I. 'Future water supply needs will be met primarily by
surface water and will require storage of winter
flows. Storage sites exist throughout the basin.
J. Known ground water supplies are of limited quantity
throughout most of the basin.
K. A study of the available ground water resource and · ·
its distribution is needed.
L. Existini use of water under dbmestic water iights,
although small, relative to existing streamflo·w~ is
of great importance.

,_ Ump qua Bas i'n Program
The State Water Resources Board on November 2, 1966, approved an exception to allow utilization of one cubic foot per second of the waters of Calapooya .Cre~k for industrial purposes with the provision that any effluent or return flows from this use will not interfere with other beneficial uses of water.
The State Water Resources Board .on October 12, 1967, approved an exception to allow the utilization of one cubic foot per second of the waters of Calapooya Creek for industrial purposes, speci~ fically a sand and gravel operation, with the understanding that the appropriation meet the requirements of the Fish Commission of Oregon, the Oregon State Game Commission, and the State Sanitary Authority as contained in letters from.the aforementioned agen¢ies which are part of the hearing record and with the further uhdet-s tanding that this exception does not abrogate any other part of the program.

APPENDIX B
Precipitation and Temperature From the records of the National Weather Service,
five locations were chosen· to depict the climatic conditions of the Umpqua
basin. The series of precipitation graphs, figures l to 5, show the annual
i totals along with seasonal fluctuations. The temperatur~ graphs, figure 6,
indicate monthly maximums, minimums and averages. For purpos~ of comparison,
a common base period, 1954 to 1973, was used. All values and averages indicated.
on these graphs are relative to this 20 year period. Temperature is expressed
in terms of absolute maximum (highest recorded), absoJute minimum (lowest ;r
recorded), and average (.of a 11 recorded) for each month during the base period.
Index numbers l to 5 on the Hydrological Stations map, plate 4, refer to
figures l to 5 respectively and serve to identify the geographic locations of
the stations selected to illustrate the basins weather.
Snow Date from Snow Survey Measurements, published by the Soil Conservation
Service, was utilized in the preparation of the snow graphs from six repre
sentative locations. The April l measurements of snow depth and water content
were used to obtain an indicator of subsequent runoff during the spring
snowmelt. At each of the selected snow courses, figures 7 and 8, all years of
record available .were included to portray the considerable variptionof snow
and water equivalent with respect to elevation and geographic location. The
siX courses are arranged in order of elevation. Locations of the three snow
graphs in figure 7, Diamond Crater, Windigo Pass, and Diamond Lake, are
indicated on the Hydrological Station map with index numbers 7A, 7B, and 7C.
Red Butte 1, North Umpqua, and Trap Creek graphs in figure 8 are designated
BA, BB, and BC respectiveiy.
B-1
Runoff The annual water supply papers published by the United States Geolo
gical Survey provided the sources of data for the graphics illustrating
runoff characteristics of the Umpqua River and its tributaries. Annual . . .
runoff in acre feet as well as the monthly distrib~tion of an average year
are shown for each of six representa'tive stream gaging stations, figures
9-14. All available years of record were used to determine the average
annual runoff values and the monthly distribution percentages for these
stations. The stream gaging stations in figures 9-14 are denoted by corre-
sponding numbers on the Hydrological Station map, plate 4.
Floods The data compiled in table l and table 2 wa$ extracted from United
States Geological Survey surface water records and open file report, Flood
Profiles in the Umpqua River Basin, Oregon. Table l summarizes maximum
recorded floods and flood magnitudes which may be expected to recur at key
stream gaging stations. The recurrence interval, in years, is the average
period in which a given flood magni .tude might be equaled or exceeded. However,
it should not be construed to imply any regularity of occurrence. Table 2,
Major Floo<:is in the Umpqua River Basin, is a t.abulation of available records
of peak flows. These values represent the maximum instantaneous discharge
occurring at the listed stations during significant floods. Because of
different periods of record, a complete series . of maximum discharge values
is not available for each station.
l::ow Flows A summary of the. low flow . data is presented in table 3. Quantities
Jppearing in this tabulation are derived from surface water records of the
U.S. Geol ogi ca 1 Survey and are i nte.nded to refi ect recorded discharges.
Extreme minimums would probably have been everi iower at some statibns if more
B,..2 ,. '
extensive records had been available. The variable record periods, last
column, s hou·l d be considered when comparing flows. Stat i ans i-nc l uded in this
low flow data are the same as those accounted for in the maximum fl ow i nfor
mati on contained in table l.
Water Temperature. Table 4 .is a compilation, by months, of the average water
temperature at key stations. The listing is based on continuously recording
thermographs operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon State
Game Commission for approximately a year and a half in 1961 and 1962 at
several locations in the Umpqua River basin. During the period water tem
peratures were observed, maximum readings were recorded in July at each ·
location. These dbservations include highs of 85 degrees F belbw Riddle on
Cow· Creek, 84 degree~ F at Ti 11 er on the South Umpqua River, 94 degrees F
at Winston on the South Umpqua River, and 73 degrees F at Winchester on the
North Umpqua River.
Water Facilities Present development of water supply systems in the basin is
reflected by the general information assembled in table 5. Pertinent data
including supplying agency, water resource, and type of treatment is listed
for each of the existing facilities. Douglas County Comprehensive Water and
Sewerage Plan, May 1970 was the source of material for this tabulation.
Reservoir Sites A collection of basic data on reservoir sites which are
recommended for construction appears in table 6. This inventory contains
details pertaining to the physical features of proposed structures as well
as hydrologic information relative to the watersheds involved. Data sources
for these entrie~ are the sponsoring agencies identified in the last column.
B-3
The sites included in the Calapooya Watershed Project are those reseryoirs
being considered by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Since a final
determination has hot yet been made as to which of these storage sites ~ould
be most beneficial to the project, they are, for the purpose of this compilation,
classified as potential. Location of reservoir sites is shown on the Umpqua
basin map, plate 5.
Irrigation Table 7 presents a summary of lands being irrigated and the total
arable land by subbasin areas. The values listed in the present irri~ation
column are based on 1973 information verifie9 by colored aerial photography.
Arable land figures generally include all areas which fall in the broad
spectrum of suitability classifications from good to poor. Excludeq from this
accounting are urban areas and land with excessive slopes. Plate 6 delineates
the irrigated and arable lands of the basin.
Recreation Relevant data concerning facilities and activities available at
recreation areas in the basin has been assembled in table 8. Each of· the 115
identified locations are open to public usage. These areas are administered
and maintained by the National Park Service~ U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau
of Land Management, State of Oregon and Doirnlci.s County. A private firm,
International Paper Company, developed two of the public recreation sites.
;Resorts and commercial areas are not included in the compilation'. Informq.tion
regarding notable features of the developed sites was, for the most part, J ~enerated from publications of the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon State Highway ,, Division and Douglas County Parks Department. In addition to the more --popular outdoor activities which are itemized in the table, such ~sthetic
attractions as scenic vistas, nature studie$ and geofogical formations can
-~-4
also be found at many of these areas. The recreation areas map, plate 7,
locates these sites within the Umpqua basin.
Fish· Table 8, fish spawning areas, reflects the wide distribution of fish
·· resources in the Umpqua basiil. In this inventory streams used for spawning
by the various fish species are 1 isted in upstream order. A total of 139
streams support at least one species of freshwater game fish. This total
represents a majority of the water courses in the basin .. with perennial
streamflows . . The most abundant and widely distributed species is the steel
head trout. The format of this tabulation, in an ascending upstream arrange-
. ment, affords a general indication of what levels of the watershed certain
species utilize to reproduce and which species are compatible. · This table
was deve.loped by extracting data from the Oregon Department .of Fish and
Wildlife publication, Environmental Investigations ~ Umpqua River Basin.
Maps Following the tabular data is a series of maps depicting various facets
of Umpqua River basin water resources, their develop~ent and management.
These maps, identified as plates 1 through 7, illustrate such fundamental
·information as the stream network, physiographic provinces, average annual
·. precipit~tion, hydrological stations, reservoir sites, irrigated and irrigable
lands and recreation ateas.
