The Yakima Basin Fish and Wildlife Recovery Board hosts a reference library on Zotero. You can access that here. The reference library is focused on the Yakima Basin and is a great resource for finding references or literature.


We have also put together a short list of key references for the Yakima Basin (organized in alphabetical order by author).

  • A 1950 report on stream surveys in the Columbia River and Yakima River Basin by Bryant and Parkhurst[1]. This report includes information from1930's and 1940's stream surveys of the Yakima Basin. Also has information on dams, irrigation canals, fish screens, stream flows, fish runs, and fish distribution. See PDF
  • The Bureau of Reclamation developed an Interim Comprehensive Basin Operating Plan for the Yakima Project in 2002[2]. This document provides a framework within which the Bureau of Reclamation operates the Yakima Project. It presents a historical context of the project and its current operation, describes its legal  and institutional aspects, articulates the impacts of project operations on the natural resources of  the basin, analyzes various operational alternatives, and recommends strategies and operational changes that will address the goals of Title XII. See PDF
