The risk to water supplies associated with wildfires within a watershed could potentially be significant. Post-wildfire watersheds suffer a loss of canopy vegetation, leading to a higher risk of flooding and increased erosion, resulting in the transportation of sediment, nutrients, and other pollutants. The four basins selected in Oregon for post-fire water-quality monitoring are a part of a larger regional study focusing on the modeling and prediction of water-quality impacts in burned watersheds, more information about the regional study can be found here." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "In response to the catastrophic fires of 2020 in Oregon, the ORWSC teamed up with the Water Mission Area\u2019s Water Availability - Impacts of Extreme Events study to see the water quality effects in severely burned watersheds.
