In 1972 water year the total inf low to the lake was 200,000 acre - feet, but it was only 75 ,000 acre-feet in 1973 water year. In 1972 wa ter year the Donner und Blitzen River contr ibuted 55 percent of the inflow, with Silvies River , direct prec i pitation, and Sodhous e Spring contributing 28, 13, and 4 percent respectively.

  • 2021 Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    Implementation Progress Update 2021 This document is an implementation summary of the Collaborative Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) between January 2013 and September of 2018. During this period significant effort was directed towards improving ecological function of aquatic systems, the highest CCP priority. Efforts were focused on Malheur Lake based on collaborative conversations and intercontinental importance to migratory birds. Resulting from extensive interactions it became clear Malheur Lake is both unique and a poorly understood ecosystem. With this as the bases to start from and through testing possible monitoring/ management techniques, it became clear a strategic ecological system approach was required. This resulted in beginning the development of a Malheur Lake systems model that would enable transfer of knowledge through time and test/inform future management decisions. Resources were also directed towards social and economic analysis to strengthen future management decisions and develop implementation resources. The other major component of improving Refuge aquatic health was development of an integrated wetland/river plan. Advancing efforts on Malheur Lake required significant commitments of resources from the Refuge and partners. This necessary commitment of resources prevented work on integrated wetland/river planning and testing. The Ecology Work Group (established in the CCP) focused on obtaining data in wet meadow habitats related to the grazing and haying program through independent third party monitoring. This collaborative effort recognized the need for developing a state and transition model. Due to habitat configurations it was found not possible to fully develop needed science on Refuge lands alone. The scientific effort was then expanded to other parts of the Basin with support from Refuge permittee resources.

    ©Maren Murphy Ponds Vista Buena Chapter 3 Physical Environment Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Human Biological Physical Management Introduction and Appendices Maps Environment Environment Environment Direction Background Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Chapter 3. Physical Environment 3.1 Major Landforms Situated in the wide open spaces of the Harney Basin physiographic area, on the northern edge of the Great Basin, the Refuge centers on three shallow playa lakes, Malheur, Mud, and Harney. These lakes are located in the lowest portion of the Harney Basin and receive life-producing water from the surrounding hills and mountains. Most of the water reaching the lakes arrives in the spring as snow melts and flows southward down the Silvies River, northward in the Donner und Blitzen River (Blitzen River), and through the Silver Creek drainage from the northwest. With an average annual rain/snow fall of only 9 inches, a drought year can result in extremely dry conditions; the lakes can be reduced to a mere fraction of their former size or become alkali-covered playas. The area surrounding the lakes is relatively flat, so a 1-inch rise in the water level will put almost 3 square miles of adjacent land underwater. A year of extremely abundant rain and snow can force water to rise beyond the boundaries of the Refuge to cover surrounding lands, doubling or tripling the size of the marsh. In the mid-1980s three years of above-normal snow forced Malheur Lake beyond the refuge boundary; the lake grew from 67 square miles to more than 160 square miles.

Duebbert, Wildlife Biologist Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service The high biological productivity of the Malheur Lake marshes led to the establishment of Mal- heur and Harney Lakes as one of the first Na- tional Wildlife Refuges in 1908. The primary management objective for the lake when it was established as a refuge was preservation and propagation of migratory waterfowl, and the same is true today.

  • The Recreation Resources of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JAMES CONRAD ALBRECHT for the MS in NATURAL RESOURCES (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented May 13 , 1965 Title THE RECREATION RESOURCES OF THE MALHEUR NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE Abstract approved (Major professor) j Heavy use of outdoor recreation areas in the United States since World War II is endangering their quality. Demand made by a rapidly growing population with rising personal incomes and increasing leisure time is expected to grow 50 percent nationally and 146 per- cent in Oregon by 1975. In Oregon, population, incomes, and amount of leisure time per person are all increasing more rapidly than nationally. A large influx of out -of -state visitors accelerates the demand. Eighty -five percent of outdoor recreation land in the United States and 95 percent in Oregon is owned by the Federal government. Recreation on Federal land is in general resource -based, that is, it depends upon some natural feature. The role of the Federal government is therefore pre- eminent in developing sites for resource -based rec- reation activities. Of the agencies involved in meeting the Federal responsibil- ity, the possible role of the Fish and Wildlife Service is least known. Controlling approximately four percent of outdoor recreation land, the 300 refuges had only 13 million of the more than 500 million visitor -days to outdoor recreation areas in 1960. Recreation visits to refuges are increasing rapidly but apparently the quality and quantity of the remarkable wildlife resources of the National Wildlife Refuge System is little understood. As the mission of the Branch of Wildlife Refuges developed, its role involves the provision of habitat for every species of native wildlife somewhere in the System.
