Welcome to the Yakima River Basin Water Temperature Monitoring Site Map
The map is up to date as of January 2025 with all known water temperature monitoring sites (past and present) in the Yakima River Basin.
If you are interested in the data: please select on the map the sites you are interested and see who is listed as the contact person. Reach out to them or aimee@midcolumbiafisheries.org to request raw data. Disclaimer: each entity has their own process for data QAQC and file naming schemes, be sure to communicate with the collection entity on the quality of the files being sent to you.
If you have sites to add to the map: please reach out to aimee@midcolumbiafisheries.org with a list of sites, their GPS coordinates, when the data was collected, and who the primary contact person should be.
Thank you for your collaboration.
We hope that in the future, this page will be the central location for Yakima Basin scientists and monitoring technicians to submit water temperature data, find temperature monitoring protocols, and access a GIS temperature data portal (launch: TBD). Because there is no standardized procedure across entities on data collection, QAQC, and file set-up we are not currently housing any of the data. Please reach out to the listed contact person if they have data relevant to your project.
