Umatilla Basin Water Findings
Reported At Meeting In Pendleton
A summary of the findings
of the Umatilla Basin Investi
gation was presented by the
staff of the Oregon State Water
Resources Board at a public
meeting on Monday evening,
June 24, at the Vert Clubroom
in Pendleton.
The findings will be presented
In greater detail in a report
which will be published by the
board in the near future.
The Umatilla Basin includes
the entire Willow Creek and
Umatilla Drainages and the Ore
gon portion of the Walla Walla
Drainage. The investigation was
conducted to study existing
water resources of the basin, to
determine means and methods
of conserving and augmenting
such resources, and to determine
existing and contemplated needs
of water for domestic and live
stock, municipal, irrigation,
power, industrial, mining, rec
reation, wildlife, fish life and
pollution abatement purposes.
The findings and conclusions
of the investigation will serve
as a basis for establishing a

water policy for the use of the
unappropriated waters of the
basin. This will be binding on
all state agencies but will not
interfere with existing rights.
A continuing phase of the
board's work will be to relate
potential development to water
supplies and needs and then to
assist in promoting those devel
opments that appear feasible
and would be beneficial to the
area, and to the state.
The presentation summary in
cluded discussions of general
physical data; the economic base
of the area, the relationship be
tween available and presently
appropriated water, present use
and associated problems for the
ten beneficial uses listed above,
problems associated with flood
ing, drainage and erosion, and
future needs and potential de
velopments. Findings and concl u s i o n s
brought out at the presentation
included the following:
The Umatilla Basin covers over
4,500 square miles, 4.7 percent
of the state area.
Eighty-four percent of the ba
sin is privately owned, 13 per
cent is in federal ownership or
management, and the remaining
3 percent is in state, county, and
municipal ownership.
Wheat, barley, and peas are
grown on 83 percent of the 1
million cropped acres. Gross ag
ricultural income during 1959
was approximately $50 million
with farm crops accounting for
$39 million and livestock $15 mil

Braves

This week concluded Little
League summer baseball action
with the Braves taking first spot
in both halves of play. They
cinched the second half by de
feating the Giants Monday, 17-5.
The Giants are in second place
this half with 4-4 record; the
Indians are in third with a 3-5
record; and the Dodgers are in
fourth with 2-6 record.
All thoughts will be on the an
nual All-Star game In The
Dalles this week-end, July 19
20. The Willow Creek team will
meet The Dalles Westerns in the
second game of a doubleheader
Friday at 8 p.m. The losers will
meet at 6 p.m. Saturday night
and the winners will tangle at
8 p.m.
The Giants kept on their win
ning streak as they dumped the
Dodgers last Wednesday night,
13-10, in a free scoring contest.
The Dodgers took the lead in the
bottom of the first with three
runs on two hits to overtake
the Giants' two runs in the top
of the frame. The Dodgers held
the lead until the top of the
fourth when the Giants rallied
for five runs on three hits and
three walks. The Dodgers picked
up three more runs in the fourth
and fifth, but the Giants widen
ed the gap in the fifth with
four more tallies and two in
the sixth to hold a 13-6 lead
going into the bottom of the
sixth. The Dodgers got a rally
going with four runs but were
stopped short and lost the game,
yield is estimated between 45
and 60 million board feet an
nually. Rangeland and forested graz
ing land utilize about 1,600,000
acres or 55 percent of the basin
land area.
The basin supports over 100
agricultural manufacturing es
tablishments that add $28 mil
lion to the economy.
Recreation is of increasing ec
onomic importance to the basin
due in part to the large surface
water areas which are developed
or being developed along the
Columbia River.
Water produced by the three
major streams (Walla Walla and
Umatilla Rivers and Willow
Creek) plus that produced by
tributaries, satisfies exis ting
water uses and also replenishes
the groundwater reservoir. Water
in excess of these requirements
presently flows out of the basin.
This surface outflow has been
estimated at 546,000 acre-feet.
As in most areas the portion of
the yield that goes to ground
water is less well defined. It is,
however, an important present
and future source of domestic,
municipal, industrial, and irri
gation water.
The maximum legal annual
consumption allowed by water
rights is over 700,000 acre-feet.
Less than 22 percent is actually
consumed, most of it through
irrigation usage.
Irrgiation is and will continue
to be the major water use in the
basin. At present 75,000 acres are
irrigated and there is sufficient
land and water available, if
properly managed, to double the
irrigated acreage and provide for
other beneficial uses.
Such management would in
clude development of water sup
plies by storage projects, im
proved efficiencies of present
water use, and increased use of
return flows and major ground
water developments. Approxi
mately 55 potential storage sites
wore pointed out, each with
varying degrees of feasibility.
Domestic supplies come pri
marily from groundwater with
some shortages occurring in
areas of high use.
Municipal supplies are also
primarily from groundw a t e r
sources and future development
will probably continue to rely
on the groundwater resource.
Industrial supplies are from
both surface and ground sources.
Much of the high quality in
dustrial water is supplied from
municipal systems.
Power, mining, wildlife and
pollution abatement are rela
tively minor water users.
The present fishery resource
is limited to steelhead, resident
trout and warm water fish. The
basin has a good fishery poten
tial but low flows, high tem
peratures and stream obstruction
arc serious blocks to reaching
the potential.
The basin is subject to flood
ing from excessive stream run
off and also from isolated cloud
burst type storms. Work to date
has been limited to levee and
channel work for control of the
runoff. Future work is expected
to take the form of multi-purpose
storage in combination with
channel improvements for flodo
control and possibly projects of
the Heppner reservoir type for
control of the cloudburst storms.
It was recommended that
quantative groundwork studies
be made and that a compre
hensive basinwlde investigation
be made to insure optimum de
velopment of the water resource.
It was strongly stressed that
there was need for coordinated
development of surface and
groundwater whereby each sup
plements the other. i
13-10. Rocky Stephens went the
distance for the Giants, allowing
10 runs on 11 hits, four walks,
and four strikeouts. Kip Scrivner,
Kit Anderson, and John Mc
Cabe pitched for the Dodgers,
giving up 13 runs on seven hits,
16 walks, and 10 strikeouts.
The league leading Braves,
Thursday night took a 6-3 de
cision over the Indians. The
Braves held a 3-2 lead after the
first frame and widened the gap
with two more runs in the third
and one in the fifth while hold
ing the Indians to a lone tally
in the top of the fifth. Bill Mc
Leod and Kent Pratt pitched for
the winners, giving up three
runs on five hits, 12 strikeouts,
and five walks. The Indians used
Jim Swanson who allowed six
runs on six hits, five walks, and
six strikeouts.
Monday the Braves added to
their win column in taking the
Giants, 17-5. The Giants open
ed the scoring in the top of the
first with three runs but the
Braves came right back with five
runs in the bottom half to take
the lead and were never headed
as they went on to score in each
inning except the fifth. They
held the Giants to one run in the
second and one in the fifth.

home run by Bill McLeod which
followed Kent's in the second
frame.
The Indians picked up their
first win after a long dry spell
in beating the Dodgers, 6-4, in
a last moving game Tuesday
night. The Indians took their
first two games of the second
half from the Braves and lost
the next five games before this
win. The Dodgers got two runs
in the second and the Indians
tied up the game in the top
of the third. Both teams were
held scoreless until the Indians
pushed across three runs in the
top of the fifth to take the lead.
They picked up an insurance

the Dodgers to one run in the
