This USGS report documents the ongoing monitoring of streams in the Powder River Basin. This report summarizes some of the available monitoring data and data relations that may be useful for assessing water-quality changes that coal bed methane discharges may have on surface water quality. In addition to the available data, the report discusses streamflow characteristics, increases in stream specific conductance over time, and relations between specific conductance and sodium-adsorption ratios.
