Oregon has made significant investments in the last decade to better understand its water supply and consumptive use in basins around the state. At OWRD, there are numerous projects underway to quantify different components of a water budget statewide.
This webpage is updated twice a year to share different pieces of information and data as they become available. You will also find updates on projects in progress, with completion dates varying from 2025 - 2032.
For those with less background in water science but curious about the water cycle and water budgets, this page also provides information about the hydrologic cycle and what it takes to study the various components of a water budget.
This webpage is under development. Please check back soon for a more complete set of resources currently available about water budget data.
