This data set contains mean annual recharge due to infiltration of precipitation, in inches (x 1000), within the upper Umatilla River Basin, Oregon, for calendar years 1981 - 2010. Recharge due to infiltration of precipitation is estimated using a regression method developed by Bauer and Vaccaro (1990) that relates annual recharge to annual precipitation. Gridded mean annual precipitation for years 1981 - 2010 was provided by the Oregon State University PRISM Climate Group.

Current land use practices have affected ecosystem structure and processes in ways that have degraded delivery of key ecosystem services controlling exchanges of carbon and nitrogen with the atmosphere and surface and groundwater systems. These impacts are observed in the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and N pollution in our nation’s water systems and coastal areas. Improvements in databases of climate, soils, and land use practices in the north central Great Plains (i.e., NCGP: Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana, South Dakota, and North Dakota) provide a unique opportunity for integration and synthesis of this information on the exchanges of C and N affecting our environmental resources. In addition,...
