Series documents the research and recommendations of the Oregon State Planning Board concerning the conservation and development of water resources. Records include correspondence, surveys, inventories, fists, reports, negatives, and black and white photographs. Records also include maps, most of which document the various drainage basins in Oregon.
Topics include erosion, power generation, flood control, port improvement, federal construction and repair projects, irrigation, groundwater, stockwater, hydrological data collection, timber harvesting and mining in relation to water resources, municipal water supplies, and developed and undeveloped storage reservoirs. Most of the records refer to the period from 1934 to 1938, however, some of the comparative research information dates to 1878.
