Summary

The Russian River watershed is an important resource for drinking water and recreation. Sonoma Water relies on the Russian River to provide drinking water to over 620,000 Sonoma County and Marin, CA residents. Nearly 1 million visitors enjoy numerous recreational opportunities on the Russian River annually. Wildfires have increased in frequency and intensity in Northern California and research is ongoing to address water-quality impacts during post-fire rainstorm events, including increased loading of sediments, nutrients, major ions, and metals. This data release presents results from the analyses of surface water samples collected within the Russian Watershed between 2017-2019 occurring before and after the Sonoma and Napa County [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to provide surface water chemistry data to aid in ongoing research to identify potential impacts from wildfire on water quality in the Russian River as well as to determine how these changes in water quality impacts drinking water operations such as riverbank filtration.
