Abstract The purpose of this review paper was to examine the relationships between floodplains, flooding, and juvenile salmon habitats. A wide range of topics were explored, these include; defining and characterizing fish habitats and floodplains; explaining flooding and hydrological processes; outlining fish behaviours, diets, and ecology. The potential impacts of forestry, agriculture, and urban development […]
Description In British Columbia, and elsewhere, water managers are faced with the challenge of balancing competing demands for water. Limits in supply or high demand create situations of water scarcity where not enough water is available for both human (out-of-stream) and ecological (instream) needs. As well, governing laws, institutions, or managers often do not to […]
Summary The foundation for understanding the consequences of changing climate (temperature and precipitation) at a regional scale are water resources at the ground level; i.e. hydrology. This requires knowledge of the hydrological regime (rain, snow, ice), hydrological resources (snowpack, glaciers, reservoirs, lakes, wetlands, groundwater and soil moisture), and hydrological processes (interception, evaporation, transpiration, and streamflow). […]
Executive Summary The Mountain Pine Beetle (MPB) epidemic, and the large-scale salvage logging of beetle infested trees, are resulting in large areas of dead pine forest and clearcuts in watersheds across the central interior. These disturbances have potential effects on water yield (the total amount of water flowing out of a watershed in a year), […]
Executive Summary GW Solutions Inc. (GW Solutions) was commissioned by the Pembina Institute to prepare a preliminary assessment of potential impacts on salmon and salmon habitat of coalbed methane (CBM) development. The focus was specifically on a tenure held by Shell Canada Limited (Shell) in the Klappan region of northwest British Columbia (the Shell Tenure). […]
