How can we improve water quality in the Deschutes Basin?

Reviewing the Deschutes Basin water quality infographic.

This graphic below shows current and potential influences on water quality, how they impact water quality, and metrics to track these issues. Importantly—it illustrates what support is most needed and where it might be most impactful. We recognize that climate change affects Deschutes Basin water quality, but we focused this graphic on local influences and impacts to water quality to prompt on the ground solutions.

Partners are collaborating in the basin to address water quality issues, but there’s a lot of work to do.
