The study provided an understanding of the natural and human factors that affect the quantity and quality of the water resources including stream biota."

From 1949 to 2006, 6 agencies have collected water-quality data and biological data at a total of 308 sites within the watershed. These data were compiled into a single relational data base. Types of water data collected include major ions, nutrients, trace metals, pesticides, and volatile organics. Types of biological data collected include fish, algae, and macroinvertebrate information."
