Columbia Basin Water Control Data

The Hydrologic Engineering Branch of the Columbia Basin Water Management Division is located in Portland, Ore.

Our Water Control Data reports organized in two different ways for your convenience. Also, project pages now have real-time data reports at the top of the page for easy access.

This dataquery link provides interactive access to our Water Control Data.

Historical data is available at the Columbia River DART (Data Access in Real Time), University of Washington. The DART Homepage has several categories of data that can be queried directly. If you are unable to locate the desired data at DART, it will be necessary to submit a custom data request.

We can respond to requests for data retrieval and customized reports for Corps of Engineers' project data on a case-by-case reimbursable basis.

Charges for retrieval and distribution of Northwestern Division data from our CROHMS database will use the applicable rates as published in the Portland District "Freedom of Information Processing Cost for Technical Data" rate sheet. Charges will only be for our actual time and materials. The current rate is $US19.40 per hour (one-half hour minimum).

Payment will be by MIPR (between Corps offices), or prepaid check made out to:
