As an early step in place-based planning, IRWRG engaged a team of Oregon State University graduate students to compile a literature review of reports and studies describing water conditions in the Inland Rogue region. The final version of their literature review is available below.

This initial synthesis marks only the beginning. Developing a comprehensive understanding of local water systems will take time—gathering data, analyzing findings, and engaging diverse perspectives to identify shared priorities. This Literature Review should be viewed not as a final product, but as an early step in a broader, evolving process.
